Project Title:       Livelihood for Women - Dress Making & Rug Making (with Sewing Machine)

 

Rationale

Women’s organizations in the barangay play a crucial role in fostering community development and promoting gender equality. These organizations empower women by providing a platform for them to voice their concerns, share their experiences, and advocate for their rights. One significant contribution of these organizations is providing economic opportunities for women, enabling them to be economically productive and promoting overall economic welfare for their families.

In the _______ Expanded ARC, many women choose to stay at home to care for their children, making their families dependent on the husband’s income. This scenario is common in rural areas. With the increasing cost of living, a family in the _______ ARC needs to generate at least ₱15,973 per month to meet basic needs, which is challenging for many. Providing an additional source of income for unemployed women through dress making and rug making is a practical solution, especially given the current demand for dressmakers in the municipality.
