Sachham Projects in Kathmandu

Sachham Tailoring Training Center

 

In cooperation with the local social foundation Laxmi Pratisthan, and thanks to the active support of the project manager at the CH embassy, Sachham Tailoring Training Center is developing admirably well.
 

The location of our training centre is conveniently situated in Koteshwor - Jadibuti. We have furnished the centre appropriately and the premises now offer space for 12-14 training places as well as a small kitchen.

We have also been able to appoint an experienced teacher and work with her to develop a curriculum that gives participants the opportunity of obtaining a state-recognised Nepalese diploma on completion of the ‘Advanced Course’. The participants learn the most important techniques necessary to be able independently to sew the garments, bags, accessories, etc. for which there is demand on the market.

In February 2022, we started a pilot course with 8 participants. In the meantime, our training programm has become well-known in many parts of Kathmandu and we are receiving enough registrations through word-of-mouth recommendations

Sachham start-up support für women and young people

A total of 78 women have now completed the basic course and 46 the advanced course.

Of these, 4 women have opened their own business thanks to a loan from Sachham, 14 women have found paid work in tailoring workshops and 10 women are working in our part-time programme (with a follow-up quota of 63%)

​

Sachham Part-time Programm

Women very often bear the responsibility for bringing up and caring for their children - their husbands work abroad, are intercity bus drivers or harvest labourers and are therefore rarely or never at home. This makes it impossible for many women to work full-time.

With Ruth Gonseth's project in Ratnanagar/Chitwan for producing sanitary pads for ShantiMed Nepal, we have reached exactly these women and given them the opportunity to work flexible hours. We have decided to capitalise on this positive experience and will continue to acquire textile orders.

This step means that, in addition to Bishnu Tamang, we need another specialist who has experience with large-scale production and can provide the women with appropriate guidance. At the same time, we also foresee offering mass production as module 3 of our training programme (Advanced+), in which we will provide participants with additional knowledge of mass production.
