Stitching Together Faith & Future: Urmila’s Journey of Transformation
Urmila and her family struggled to survive amid poor wages and poor choices. But God, through a Global Helps Network tailoring school, is transforming her life!
A Girl’s Bold Fight for Education
The 17-year-old had just completed high school and dreamed of continuing her education in accounting. However, her parents had other plans. They strictly forbade her from going to college or attending computer classes, insisting that she should get married instead. Despite her repeated attempts to reason with them, they remained firm in their decision. To them, her future was already set—marriage, not education.

Sewing Machines Available for All!
Tailoring schools have been one of our most effective ways of helping young women escape the cycle of poverty. Find out how we are making our schools even better!
The Destitute Find New Life
We are rehabilitating the economic condition of suffering women by organizing training in tailoring and alternate career opportunities. We have five tailoring schools and a hundred and ten students enrolled in the program.
Helping Rural Women Shine
Women were disproportionately affected by unemployment and poverty during the Covid-19 pandemic. They are often forced to rely on men for everything because they lack a source of income.
Dignity and Life Through Training and Discipleship
Underprivileged youths from slums and villages have a strong desire for computer training. However, due to persistent financial constraints they have been unable to reap the benefits of computer literacy. Our project provides computer training to youth in Microsoft Office programs.
Training a Skill for a Lifetime
One of the core objectives of our tailoring schools in the villages is teaching skills that our students can use for a lifetime to earn an income for themselves, their families, and even their community.
Teach a Trade, Restore Hope
The State where we work is one of the poorest states in India, it is also home to more than 241 million people, making it the highest populated state in India. The majority of the people depend on agriculture and migrant farm work, which is often unreliable and leaves many families without jobs for months at a time.
Hope, Employment, and Dignity for Women
Over the last year, 120 women graduated from our tailoring schools with life transforming skills that will enable them to provide for their families, start businesses, and lead lives of respect and dignity within their communities. With every school we start, doors are opened and hope is brought to a marginalized people.
