Livelihood and Skill Development

Stitching a New Beginning

When one young man from a rural household enrolled in our DDU-GKY-linked training program, he had no formal skill to his name and few job prospects in his village. Over several weeks of hands-on training, he learned to operate a sewing machine with confidence, picking up techniques he had never had the chance to practice before. With the program's placement support, he was connected to a local employer soon after completing his course - turning a few weeks of training into his first steady income. His journey reflects exactly what DDU-GKY set out to do: give rural youth a real skill and a real shot at employment.
