It is very important that women can move from disadvantaged and oppressive situations in order to provide independently and autonomously for their own income.
Besides the existing sewing program, OMI, with the help of Havonos, set up a special sewing training to offer women the option of sewing clothing and other things in order to get a profession.
The training school (Obtec) in Kanagapuram, Killinochchi offers the sewing training and gives a variety of other courses such as first aid, styling and icing (making pies). Over the years, many groups graduated. Women are enthusiast and passionately using the offered opportunities. This has led them to further develop new professions and related training, such as bride styling. By learning the complete bride care they make a profession of it. Getting married in countries like Sri Lanka, is very important. It is the most important event of the lives of women.
