In a community where unemployment and poverty disproportionately affect women, Hope Designers offers a path to financial independence. Women in our project are often reliant on male partners for their livelihood, which can lead to deeper poverty, especially in the case of unemployment. Through Hope Designers, we aim to empower women to become self-reliant by equipping them with the skills needed to start and run their own businesses.
Our training program spans six months and covers basic tailoring, cutting, and sewing techniques. Participants can then progress to more advanced training in embroidery, arts, and design, allowing them to expand their skill sets and create beautiful, high-quality products. Once they complete the training, women are supported in starting their own fashion businesses, with resources and ongoing guidance from Kar Geno.
