We started a new Sewing project in August for waste pickers near Autonagar, Vijayawada. Around 30 waste picker families are living in Autonagar Gate area. Each family consisting of minimum 5 members. They are living in temporary shelters beside the main road. Main occupation for them is drainage cleaning and waste picking. Drug abuse and alcoholism is mainly seen in men and as we observed majority of women are single parents. School drop outs and early marriages are quite common here. In order to give these women another opportunity to earn their living, Shoshana started a sewing project with four women as a group. Sewing training started from the 1st of August. After finishing the course ( 8- 9 ) months, these women will be provided with a sewing machine and other tools so that they can start working on their own at their convenience.
