Tailoring
Stitching Lives Back Together
The Tailoring Unit at our rehabilitation centre plays a vital role in the recovery and reintegration of homeless women with mental illness. It provides not just a vocational skill, but also a therapeutic outlet for creativity, confidence, and self-reliance.
Why Tailoring?
Tailoring offers a perfect blend of skill-building, therapy, and empowerment. It helps women regain fine motor coordination, focus, and decision-making ability while opening doors to economic independence.
