V-Guard Empowers Women in Faridabad Through Sewing Skill Program

New Delhi, February 9, 2024:  V-Guard- Sunflame Enterprises in collaboration with Innovative Project Management Services (Fiinovation) and Tender Hearts Education Society, has initiated a skill development program aimed at empowering women in Faridabad district of Haryana.

According to the officials, the project addresses a longstanding challenge faced by women in Faridabad - the lack of accessible skill development opportunities. Many women in the area struggle with unemployment or underemployment due to inadequate skills or incomplete education. Recognizing this need, the collaborative effort seeks to bridge the skill gap and enable women to contribute meaningfully to the economy.

Tender Hearts Education Society, a local NGO, will lead the on-ground implementation of the initiative, with support from Fiinovation.  Ms Renu Bali, Founder & Director, Tender Hearts elaborated that, “The collaboration has enabled us to actively advance our mission of empowering women's lives through sustainable skill development. V-Guard's dedication to social responsibility and community development seamlessly aligns with our objectives, creating a synergistic partnership that amplifies the impact of our initiatives.  As an NGO, we frequently encounter challenges in grants management, and Finnovation has played a pivotal role in addressing these issues while strategically guiding us through the execution of our projects.”

The program focuses on equipping women with sewing skills, providing them with opportunities for better employment or entrepreneurship. Beyond financial independence, it aims to enhance self-esteem and confidence among participants, fostering positive shifts in their roles within families and communities.

The collaboration between Fiinovation and V-Guard signifies a concerted effort to drive positive change. By pooling expertise and resources, the partners aim to create a comprehensive program addressing immediate skill needs while laying the groundwork for broader societal transformation.

Addressing the collaboration, Dr. Soumitro Chakraborty, CEO, Fiinovation, expounded, "As the project unfolds, it carries the potential to disrupt traditional gender norms and advocate for women as proficient professionals in sectors historically dominated by men. The cascading impact of this transformation transcends individual empowerment, reaching into the broader community. By actively encouraging women to venture into traditionally male-dominated domains, the initiative plays a pivotal role in dismantling societal barriers and fostering a more equitable and inclusive workforce."
