Below is Divya, one of our 10 tailoring students, the tailoring project coming to an end this month. This 6 month tailoring project went from November of 2020 through April '21. Four of the students needed more training, but because of Covid we had to wait until August and September to give them 2 months additional training. Six girls/young women completed in April, making a total of 7 single moms (with a total of 11 children) and 3 single girls. Divya, the girl below (maybe 18 years old), also had a little child, but she died a few months ago.
In the India culture, it is not easy for single women or girls to go out and promote their talents and get some business unless they have a more bold and aggressive nature, which most of them don't. Some of the shy ones (like Divya) are from village areas, which is also a disadvantage for them. We're praying about how to help them make some income, perhaps even starting one or 2 tailoring shops in different locations, bringing these tailoring graduates to the shops where they can work as employees. Definitely the Lord has wisdom to impart for these young women and girls, so pray with us for His guidance. Thanks!
