Dream Forever mission is to ensure that women in India have the resources, skills, and support they need to live safe and empowered lives. To this end, we opened up a free Dream Forever in Delhi with the goal of eradicating financial dependency, societal restrictions, unsafe work environments and other issues that continue to hinder women even today. The center offers classes for anyone interested in learning how to sew. We provide all of the materials needed at no cost so that our students can focus on learning without worrying about affording supplies. The students who come to our center are often in difficult financial situations and cannot afford to buy new cloth or other materials needed to sew dresses.
To address this issue, we designed our classes with sustainability in mind – without incurring additional costs to our students. We began using recycled fabrics that otherwise would have gone into landfills.
Our goal at Plan Care is not only to provide opportunity but also promote sustainability by helping people learn how to reuse what already exists around us instead of creating more waste!
As many of the participants are household women who join the morning session and college students pursuing studies in the afternoon, it illustrates how valuable this program is for empowering individuals. Our experienced instructors teach basic sewing techniques such as machine operation and fabric selection as well as more advanced design principles for those who are ready for a challenge.
The learning environment at the Dream Forever is open and encouraging; we pride ourselves on creating a safe place for our students where they can grow their skills without fear of judgement or ridicule. We also strive to create an atmosphere that values hard work and dedication regardless of background or experience level.
Our efforts have been met with great enthusiasm – since opening, the Dream Forever has become incredibly popular amongst local females looking for guidance on how best they can use their skillset to make a living wage.
