Potential Long Term Impact

The economic and social status of the 120 women will improve. They will earn significant income with their acquired skill at the end of the first year. Their self confidence will help them establish market linkages for the products.

Project Message

A village or town's prosperity is reflected in the socioeconomic status and health of the women and girls. Women from Tekari will show that their fate is in their hands to mould as they like.
