Livelihood & self-reliance
A skill that becomes an income.
Set up in 2006, KSCCW's Tailoring Unit imparts livelihood skills to economically disadvantaged young women from the surrounding community — building confidence and a path to sustainable income.
Trainees learn essential hand stitches, button and hook work, and how to measure, cut and sew a variety of garments. Examinations every four months lead to a course-completion certificate.
New in 2025: the Aari Work Embroidery Unit
Launched in January 2025, our Aari embroidery unit is a three-month livelihood course teaching intricate hand embroidery with silk thread, glass beads and crystal stones — designs for blouses, kurtas and sarees. It encourages creativity and craftsmanship, with assessments every three months and a certificate on completion. Eight young women completed the very first batch.
Together, tailoring and Aari work give women a genuine, marketable trade — the same thread of care that runs through everything KSCCW does, turned into self-reliance.
