CLARA has successfully given the training to its previous badge. People are very grateful to get this training facility. They said that being an industrial city this project is really very helpful to those who are uneducated and jobless. The need of trained people in the market is like a thirst which never stops.

In the training groups we have the majority of girls want to learn stitching. It indicates that ladies are more interested in stitching than males. Females are very excited and actively participate in all the occasions.

I guess if they would have attended the school so regularly, a time would have come when they would be educated successful ladies. But still they are availing the best opportunity in life.

In the meeting held on 22nd April 2011, with the students and staff of stitching center, the new project of training center was introduced by Ms. Salva Rafiq. All the participants’ appreciated the new project of having our own training center building going to start on 2nd May 2011.
Students further added to have the facility of textile designing course in the training center.

The training classes are being given in two shifts. Students are learning stitching, threading, cutting, manufacturing, tailoring and mechanical training about industrial machines.
Given below are the few case studies of the students who are trained as well as of those who have recently took the admission.
Few clips of certificate distribution ceremony are also attached.

One of the successful, intelligent and hardworking students from our first badge, Mrs. Rubina Ashraf (Muslim) who completed her training successfully with first group. In the picture above she is very happy at her home that she is earning more than before.

Mrs. Rubina belongs to a poor family. Her husband is a daily wage worker. She was fond of stitching from her adolescent. She wanted to work in some factory but her parent in laws does not allow her to go outside. She has two small children.

But when she heard about this training she insisted her husband for the training. She told him that after getting this training I will be able to earn more. Then her husband came himself to see the environment in CLARA unit. When he saw other girls learning the same he gave permission to her wife for learning stitching. As she was already fond of this profession, so she learnt quickly.

Before training she was stitching female clothes only. Now she can cut and stitch all type of clothes of Male, female & Children. She is trained in operating all the stitching machines. In future she plans to work in a factory/hosiery. She is hopeful that one day she will be successful in convincing her in-laws to send her out for earning.
