Janaki has recently asked me to think about a new idea that she has had. As some of you may know she runs vocational training programmes for young women in tailoring and sewing and stitching. This allows these ladies to get employment where before they would have had no skills and poor prospects of finding work.
Janaki's idea is that she can set up a small business to support and employ some of these ladies herself. She would like to import some material from countries where it is fairly cheap, get the workers to make the material into clothes, T-shirts etc, and then export these clothes to other countries to make some money.
As yet the idea is still new but hopefully she will be able to send over some samples of clothes and provide more details of costs and so on.
Janaki has asked me to see if there are any UK businesses that would be interested in buying from her. Also I think that there may well be scope for some UK churches suporting her in this work by buying some stock and selling it at events or on market stalls etc.
If you have any contacts in the clothing business that may be interested in this project then please get in touch (johnrodgers@gmail.com) or if your church might be interested then please let me know.
You can see a picture of some samples from her training school below.
