A strategic, well-supervised project is helping needy women to support themselves and their families
Every day, in the rural town of Thondamuthur, India, forty-two women learn sewing and tailoring skills at the Lydia Tailoring School for Poor Women. Their new abilities enable them to help support themselves and their families. The six-months course, provided free of charge to them, is overseen by a Christian fashion designer and a tailoring instructor, who also counsel and pray for the Hindu and Muslim women. Because response to the training has been so enthusiastic and the results so positive, enrollment will increase significantly next year.
