Skills for Women: Tailoring Training & Starter Kits
Many mothers in Kano support their families alone, with no skill that brings a steady income from home. This initiative trains women for three months in tailoring and garment-making, then gives each graduate a sewing machine and starter materials so she can start a small business right away. Trainees are chosen from widows, mothers of orphans and low-income families, and we follow their income after graduation. Training and equipping one woman costs ₦250,000.
