The BDA has been supporting the Pragati Sewing Centre for over 7 years, manovouring the numerous obstacles this wonderful women’s empowerment project is able to accomplish under the guidance of Priye Dwyer (from Dwyer Foundation) , Sr Shobha and Pushpa Kumari and of course the energetic and passionate woman who runs the centre, Sangheeta.
These latest photos and video clip was shared with us yesterday where these trusted and hardy sewing machines repaired several of them, taking them back to the ladies for more sewing production of masks, dusters for blackboards for our Prajna Vihar School and clothing items.
