Training in Tailoring

Nagapattinam
June, 2005

In January 2005, a tailoring program was started to assist many tsunami survivors, specifically women get back on their feet. Apart from providing all material needs to join this program, M. A. Math also offers incentives to beneficiaries upon successful completion of the program.

What started as a 75 member program In Srayikkad (Kerala) has grown to over 200 now. Most recently classes are being conducted in Pattanachery, ITI Camp, Shivashakti, Samanthampettai and Palathadi, near Nagapattinam.

So what did these women do all day.... take a look.

Since June 2005, the M. A. Math runs five tailoring classes in Nagapattinam. There are about 10 teachers helping these young women.

These free classes cover both theoretical and practical aspects of tailoring.

These classes include a weekly session on embroidery.

Each class is a two-hour session. Almost all the students are housewives.

Tests are conducted for students weekly and the teachers are pleased with the performance of the students.

The students are keen on studying more.
