On Saturday, 21st September 2024, Seek Foundation conducted a comprehensive tailoring exam across the villages of Manapathy, Vayalur, and Marutham as part of its mission to empower women through skill development. A total of 45 women, 15 from each village, participated in the evaluation, which tested their progress after months of dedicated training.
The examination featured both a viva session and an assessment of the participants’ stitching patterns. Each participant presented an album of miniature samples, showcasing their ability to stitch essential garments such as blouses, skirts, churidars, frocks, and tops. This practical approach ensured a thorough evaluation of their craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Ms. Kamali, a renowned fashion designer, served as the external examiner, providing valuable feedback and insights to the trainees. Her expertise and detailed evaluation ensured that these women are now equipped with the skills necessary for professional tailoring tasks.
This initiative aligns with the vision and objectives of Seek Foundation, an NGO dedicated to fostering economic self-reliance and women empowerment. By offering skill-based training programs, Seek Foundation aims to create sustainable livelihoods and empower women to take charge of their future. This tailoring program is a testament to their commitment to uplifting communities, one stitch at a time.
