1. Background

In order to promote women’s economic empowerment and support vulnerable households, Momtaz Community Foundation (MCF) SIBO implemented a sewing machines distribution program for trained women. This activity was conducted as a follow-up to previously completed tailoring (sewing) training courses and aimed to provide graduates with the necessary tools to begin income-generating activities.

The initiative was designed to address unemployment and financial dependency among women by enabling them to utilize their acquired skills in a practical and sustainable manner.

2. Objectives of the Distribution

The main objectives of this distribution were:

  • To enhance the financial independence of women trained in tailoring skills
  • To support household livelihoods through sustainable income-generation opportunities
  • To enable women to apply their technical skills in real market conditions
  • To encourage women’s participation in the local economy

3. Target Beneficiaries

A total of 30 women were selected as beneficiaries of this program. The selection criteria included:

  • Successful completion of tailoring training courses
  • Belonging to low-income and vulnerable households
  • Demonstrated motivation to start or expand sewing-related income activities

4. Type of Assistance Provided

Each selected beneficiary received:

  • One sewing machine (complete and ready for use)

The sewing machines were provided as productive assets to support long-term income generation rather than short-term assistance.

5. Distribution Process

The distribution was carried out in a transparent and well-organized manner under the supervision of Momtaz Community Foundation staff.

Key steps included:

  • Verification of training completion records
  • Registration of beneficiaries prior to distribution
  • Orientation on proper use and maintenance of sewing machines
  • Distribution of sewing machines with proper documentation

6. Expected Outcomes

Through the provision of sewing machines, beneficiary women are expected to:

  • Produce garments and tailoring products for sale in local markets
  • Offer sewing services to community members on a fee basis
  • Contribute to household income and improve family living standards
  • Move toward sustainable self-reliance and economic stability

7. Results and Impact

  • Successfully distributed 30 sewing machines to trained women
  • Enabled beneficiaries to immediately start income-generating activities
  • Strengthened the link between skills training and economic opportunity
  • Contributed to women’s empowerment and social inclusion

8. Conclusion

The distribution of sewing machines to trained women was successfully implemented by Momtaz Community Foundation. This activity played a critical role in transforming vocational training into practical livelihood opportunities, supporting women’s financial independence, and strengthening household resilience.

MCF remains committed to expanding similar livelihood support initiatives in the future to reach more women in need.
