Threads of Life

Barkha (name changed for privacy) was rescued in 2022 and taken to Women’s Safe Haven (WSH), a safe place run by our implementing partner, 3 Angels Nepal. WSH provides shelter, counseling, and support to women in desperate need. As part of her rehabilitation here, she has completed the initial tailoring course, allowing her to gain the ability to provide for herself once she is ready to reenter the community. Currently, she is learning how to make baby clothes, tote bags, fiber blankets, cushions, and pillows using industrial sewing machines. Her trainer Mrs. Kamala has said that she is doing great so far!

She is thankful for the opportunity to change her fate and become independent. We are proud of Barkha’s journey and confident in her bright future. With the skills she acquired and the support of Captivating, she is well on her way to a successful and fulfilling life.
