For these women with no schooling passing the examination is precious.

The establishing of the sewing centre has not enables the training of the women but also resulted in manufacturing of clothes.
The products are sold to commercial companies.

Through the training and the business activities at the Centre the women benefit from earning their own money and achieving self-respect, which cannot be measured in money nor be expressed in words.
They can use their knowledge in many ways, for example finding work outside the Centre.
