Collaborating with Pratham, they teach sewing skills for economic independence, aiming to help 10 women start sustainable businesses. Since 2021, Neeraj and Amita Kapoor's centers have trained 68 women, generating over ₹22 lakhs. Ismail Khatri's donation of 4,500 meters of fabric enables these women to create products for sale. Together, these efforts are transforming lives and strengthening communities.
