Learning to sew helps women succeed in life and build a more hopeful future for themselves. A woman who has a tailoring qualification can make clothes for her family and friends and set up a home business sewing for others.
AIl provides in person tailoring classes at Learning Centers. The length of sewing course varies from 3 to 9 months depending on what level of tailoring is needed. AIL has also begun providing sewing machines for students to use at home if they are unable to attend a class in person. They can follow programming that teaches sewing on TV Meraj. There are also useful videos on Youtube that help women advance their tailoring skills.
Women gain self-confidence and a belief in their own capacity to learn when they acquire a useful skill like sewing. They also gain the respect of the family for their skill and their capacity to earn money.
