Dorcas Project
Empowering Women Since 2010
The Dorcas Project has been transforming the lives of women aged 16–40 through skill development and education. Starting with stitching training, the program has expanded to include English language classes and biblical teachings, offering a holistic approach to personal and professional growth.
Comprehensive Training Program
The Dorcas Project focuses on three key areas:
- English Language: Inspired by their desire to communicate like the children at our centers, participants begin with English classes. This enhances their confidence and helps them connect with a broader community.
- Biblical Teachings: We integrate spiritual growth into the program, offering moral guidance and strengthening participants’ personal values.
- Stitching and Embroidery: The core of the program teaches women to make clothing and master embroidery techniques, providing practical skills for self-reliance and career advancement.
Certification and Opportunities
Graduates receive certificates, a significant milestone for many who have never been formally recognized. This achievement opens doors to jobs with local tailors, teaching positions at other NGOs, and enrollment in advanced courses such as fashion design. Certification not only validates their skills but also empowers them with confidence to pursue new opportunities.
Impact on Women
The program has a profound impact on participants’ lives. Women experience a sense of pride and accomplishment upon completing the course. Beyond skills, the training provides a much-needed social outlet, allowing housewives and unmarried women to interact and grow in a supportive environment. Some of our graduates have become self-employed tailors, teachers, or fashion designers, while improved English skills enhance their communication in both professional and personal settings.
Transforming Lives
The Dorcas Project stands as a beacon of empowerment, offering women the tools they need to succeed while fostering confidence, independence, and community. Each success story underscores the transformative power of education and skill development, making a lasting difference in the lives of women and their families.
