Many women in Bangladesh who live in the slums have no skills and cannot help provide for their families. For every wedding dress that Ellie Lowe makes, one month's sewing training is provided for women so they can get a job or start a home business.
This community development program, run by Every Home Global Concern in association with Business For Good centres around primary school education for children from the slums. They provide sewing training for 180 women each year (many of whom are the mothers of the school children) greatly enhancing their self-esteem and their ability to assist their family. |
