This impactful initiative focused on raising funds for the donation of sewing machines to Seva Silai, a vocational training centre, empowering women in Sadarpur Colony, Noida. We raised Rupees 50,000 by selling multipurpose cloth bags, made up of left over cut pieces and surplus fabric, and bought five second hand sewing machines from the profits generated. Through this endeavour, women were equipped with essential sewing skills, enabling them to secure a livelihood for their families and support their children's educational aspirations. By providing these women with the means to earn a sustainable income, we aimed to create a ripple effect of positive change, empowering not only the individuals but also their entire community.

Through this project, I developed a first-hand understanding of cost & profit which I hope will help me in my professional career as well.
