Weaving livelihoods

RC Chennai Sea View, RID 3232, provided 10 motorised sewing machines and repaired 25 old machines at the Guild of Service Seva Samajam Boys Home. These machines will help provide vocational training for the inmates to aid them in income generation. The club installed an RO plant at the Home to provide safe drinking water for them.

A commercial wet grinder, along with a large idli cooker, vessels and groceries, and a motorised sewing machine was gifted by the club to the Annai Bharata Matha Self Help Group located in a slum. “This will help the women earn a decent sum either by pursuing tailoring as a vocation or establishing an eatery,” said club president Shivani Khemka.
