The tailoring training center project run classes for the single mothers and girls to give them relevant tailoring skills to enable them get skilled employment from Ruaraka industries. The first phase of the project saw 43 women trained on embroidery and sewing skills. The second phase which began in mid-August will run till 19th December 2015 with 39 trainees. To date, 26 of the trained women and girls have managed to secure employment with Rafiki clothing Industry as machine operators. 2 of the trainees were retained in the centre to help with the management of the centre. The rest of the trainees have been absorbed in private businesses in Kariobangi North and Mathare North markets. This is our success so far this year
To date, the organization has not managed to assist other trainees secure loans from micro-finance institutions or given grant when available to purchase their own sewing machines for small businesses. And we would appreciate in the year 2016 at least 5 women are able to secure funding to purchase their own machines for sewing business. This is our dream for 2016.
