🪡 WHY SEWING?
🪡 WHY SEWING?
Bangladesh's garment industry is the largest industry. The work is there. Women just need the skills to access it.
💪 THE MODEL WORKS
💪 THE MODEL WORKS
Our partner on the ground, Give Bangladesh Foundation, has already proven this through their Purbo-Poshchim program. 22 batches. 184 women trained. 138 of them now working in factories, tailoring shops, or running their own businesses. That's a 75% success rate of women who've left sex work for stable employment. This isn't an experiment. It's a tested model we're scaling. Some graduates are earning factory wages and supporting entire families. Others have started their own tailoring businesses. What matters is they're choosing their own path forward.
