A follow-up visit to our past beneficiaries was conducted by Mr. Laxmi Sada, Field Coordinator at Dhanushadham this month. On visiting their homes, we found that most of them were making use of the sewing machines that were provided at the end of their training period. 

At present, Basic and Advanced level of training on Tailoring and Mithila Art is being conducted by the trainers based in Janakpur. The training center at Dhanushadham houses 32 women and adolescent girls at once with education classes as another ongoing activity to support their literacy skills. 

This month we conducted three virtual workshops on public issues, group and organizational skills, influencing decisions, and strategic planning and resources mobilizing. Also, we completed the first session of boot camp on the 10th of September. We are now at the last phase of our second year from this five year long program, which we will wrap up after  conducting Boot camp and Evaluation of beneficiaries and begin our third year with the theme social skills.
