Both Clubs aimed to raise £3,500 to allow RUWON (Rural Women’s Network Nepal) to run a third Sewing and Tailoring Course.
The money raised allowed a number of disadvantaged women from rural areas of Nepal to attend a six month sewing and tailoring course in Kathmandu. This provided underprivileged rural women with the chance to acquire skills that empower them to lift themselves out of poverty and improve the well-being of their families.
To date, 11 women have completed a six month course for which they will receive a certificate of training. This will allow them to gain employment, set up their own business or move onto further training.
