Summary

Alkhidmat Foundation provided 20 sewing machines, pico equipment, and other training materials to the newly constructed Kalash Skill Development Center in Chitral. With more than 70 Kalash women currently enrolled, this support will help students gain practical sewing and garment-finishing skills.

Learning a practical skill can open new possibilities for women to earn an income and support their households. Access to equipment and a dedicated training space is an important part of that journey.
