Agami Knitting Project
We have recently started a knitting project where the mothers of underprivileged children of Agami Sponsored schools are given training on making craft items that help the mothers to become financially empowered. They now can take part in the decision-making of the family.
This project is running in one of the Agami-sponsored schools in Dhaka but we have plans to expand it to other schools we have the following plan ahead.
- Train 20-40 disadvantaged women in dressmaking, sewing, and running a small business.
- Empower successful graduates with a need-based free sewing machine and seed money to start their own businesses and generate income.
- Assist them in developing products with ideas, and designs, and help market those.
- Assist with job placement in local garment industries.
- Uplift the families' living standards by providing the women with skills to generate income, and become independent.
- Empower the women to have a decision-making voice on family planning, the marriage of their children, and education for their daughters.
