Sewing Machine Distribution Program

A Milestone in Women’s Empowerment

On February 14, 2025, Aman and its dedicated team, in collaboration with the Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center, successfully organized the Sewing Machine Distribution Program (1446/2025) at Sher-E-Bangla Nagar Govt. Girls’ High School. This program aimed to empower women by providing them with both the necessary vocational training and sewing machines, thereby helping them achieve financial independence and contribute to their families’ well-being. The program saw the distribution of 1,200 sewing machines, generously donated by the Al-Imdaad Foundation, to women who had completed their training at the center.

A Collaborative Effort for Women’s Empowerment

This initiative represents a significant step toward empowering women by equipping them with both skills and tools to start their own businesses. The sewing machines will allow beneficiaries to work from home, take tailoring orders, and generate a steady income, improving their quality of life.

The program was made possible through a generous donation from Dr. Imraan Hassim and the Al-Imdaad Foundation, whose continuous support in humanitarian and development projects has made a profound impact on the lives of many. Aman, committed to reducing poverty and fostering self-reliance, played an integral role in organizing and executing this event, ensuring its success.

Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center: A Hub for Learning

The Bibi Hajira Skill Development Center, established to provide vocational training to women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, offers structured courses in tailoring, fabric cutting, stitching, and embroidery. This training is designed to equip women with the skills they need to start their own businesses and become financially independent.

For many of the women enrolled, this program is a pathway to break free from financial struggles and create a sustainable future for themselves and their families.

1,200 Sewing Machines Distributed to Skilled Beneficiaries

The highlight of the event was the distribution of 1,200 sewing machines, donated by the Al-Imdaad Foundation, to trained women. These machines will help beneficiaries set up their own tailoring businesses and take on local orders, contributing to their financial independence.

How the Beneficiaries Will Benefit:

Self-Employment Opportunities: Women can start their own tailoring businesses, take orders from local businesses, and provide custom services.
Financial Stability: The income from their sewing work will help them cover household expenses, support their children’s education, and improve their overall living standards.
Work-from-Home Flexibility: Many of the beneficiaries are mothers and caregivers. Having a sewing machine at home allows them to balance work with family responsibilities.

Aman’s Role: Organizing & Facilitating the Program

Aman played a key role in organizing and facilitating the event, from selecting deserving beneficiaries to ensuring the smooth execution of the program. Aman’s commitment to empowering women through skill development and its extensive network of partners and volunteers helped make this event a success.

Aman has been actively involved in reducing poverty through various initiatives, including education, health services, vocational training, and food assistance. This sewing machine distribution program is in line with Aman’s mission to provide resources and opportunities for self-reliance, particularly among underprivileged women.

Al-Imdaad Foundation: A Generous Contribution to Women’s Empowerment

The Al-Imdaad Foundation, a long-time partner of Aman, generously donated all 1,200 sewing machines to this initiative. Their contribution is instrumental in helping these women transform their lives by providing them with the tools necessary to become financially independent.

During the event, Dr. Imraan Hassim, a representative from the Al-Imdaad Foundation, delivered an inspiring speech, emphasizing:

Self-Reliance: Encouraging beneficiaries to use their new skills to build a stable income for themselves.
The Importance of Skill Development: Highlighting how vocational training programs help reduce poverty and uplift communities.
