Project Description
The program was generously supported by STG of ARM Rtn. Udayaram Shrestha, whose valuable contribution helped strengthen skill-based livelihood opportunities for trainees with disabilities. Approximately 12,000 meters of fabric and tailoring materials were distributed and utilized during the training sessions.
