With the compeltion of the course, the status of these girls among their families have improved significantly as they are now being involved in the decision making and are valued for their contributions to the income of their families. The skilled girls earned a good profit for their families, especially during the time of Eid el Fitr (a Muslim festival). This has also improved the social harmony among the commnities. These skilled girls are excited and are thankful to Society for Human Development for giving them an opportunity to learn and play an important role in their families and society.
The new batch will start their course during the next month. It is a request to all donors to kindly keep supporting in this cause.

Dear Friends, The centers opened by SHD Pakistan in 3 villages (Jaffa colony, Hanif Coloy and Qadirabad) of District Toba Tek Singh are running successfully. The girls from the village are very happy as know they have learnt many techniques and are now practising hard to master it.
Most of the girls and women enrolled in these sewing centers are extremely poor and they either work as house maids or belong to the families of domestic servants. The total 75 girls and women are enrolled in Sewing Centers. Thanks to a donation of USD 2145 through GlobalGiving, the centers have been established and are running successfully.
Unfortunately,There has been a technical issue faced by SHD, which has delayed the process of equiping the sewing center with more machines. There has been a certain changes in the policies which has delayed the extension of the project. The new Government is trying to resolve the issues and we hope it will be ok in the next coming quarter.
