ISARD’s work in Livelihood and Skill Development plays a pivotal role in uplifting communities, particularly focusing on young people and women. By offering vocational training programs, ISARD equips individuals with essential practical skills that enhance their employability and enable them to build sustainable livelihoods. These programs are designed not only to provide immediate job opportunities but also to foster a culture of entrepreneurship. By emphasizing skill-building and knowledge-sharing, ISARD helps individuals tap into their potential and contribute to the economic and social development of their communities. This approach supports long-term empowerment, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to navigate challenges and seize opportunities in a rapidly evolving job market. These programs cover a variety of fields, including but not limited to:

Tailoring, Sewing, and Cutting Centre: The Tailoring, Sewing, and Cutting Centre is a valuable resource for women, particularly those from marginalized communities, offering practical skills that can lead to economic empowerment and independence. By teaching tailoring, sewing, and embroidery techniques, the centre enables women to start their own businesses from home. This not only provides an avenue for financial independence but also offers flexibility and the opportunity to produce products like dolls’ clothes and offer repair services for household textiles.
The vocational training initiatives, spearheaded by ISARD, are focused on uplifting individuals, especially women, from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
