Weaving Lives
A livelihood project for the mainstreaming of HIV affected and infected women of Trivandrum and Kollam districts
“Weaving Lives” aims to improve the living situations of women within the districts of Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam. The failing health prevents them from having a job and increased treatment expenses have worsened the lives of these women, who are mostly widows. To break this vicious circle of poverty and to save these lives, we are here with a plan to empower them through a life changing strategy.

TRAINING PROGRAM
Increasing the earning capacity of women has a major role to play in the women empowerment. Financial freedom opens for her various ways to success in life. Aiming at the sustainable development of unemployed women, De Care- Vincentian Social Services conducted three day stitching training for women at Vincentian Ashram, Vattapara. The CSR wing of ESAF Bank funded the entire training program. Around 20 participants from different parts of Trivandrum attended the training.
Vincentian Social Services Completed training programs as part of the Weaving Lives Project. Altogether 40 women were given stitching training in Trivandrum and Kollam and the machines were distributed. At Kollam, the training was conducted at QSS (Quilon Social Services). The training was organized under the CSR initiatives of ESAF Foundation. In the further phase of this project, we will monitor and try to establish market linkages.
