Every Skill Learned Opens a New Door

When Selina first heard that Rural Care Ministries, with support from the Young Living Foundation, was offering free tailoring classes in her village, she knew she wanted to learn.

She had never operated a sewing machine before.

But she believed learning a new skill could help change her future.

Since joining the program, Selina has learned how to sew hooks, eyelets, buttons, zigzag stitching, decorative wave stitching, and garments for both girls and boys. More importantly, she says the training has given her something even greater than new skills; it has given her confidence. 

Looking ahead, Selina hopes to continue learning advanced tailoring techniques so she can eventually open her own tailoring business, earn an income, and help provide financial support for her family. 

Her story is exactly why this program exists.

Building Opportunity Together

The Young Living Foundation Tailoring Training Centre officially welcomed 43 women into the program, led by instructor Mrs. Prasanna, who is helping equip participants with practical vocational skills they can use to build sustainable livelihoods.

This month also marked exciting milestones for the program:

Every lesson learned is preparing these women for something much bigger than sewing.

They're learning how to create opportunities for themselves, support their families, and build brighter futures through meaningful work.
