Recently, our SEED team organised one of a kind orientation session for a jewel CAD (Computer aided design) course. A Computer Aided Designing (CAD) course in jewellery helps to do away with the tedious, time-consuming hand drawn creations, and assists in designing jewellery on the computer with improved accuracy and speed. The use of software in jewellery designing brings alive the creative spark and enhances the uniqueness of custom jewellery designs.

This was the first time that such a workshop on Computer aided jewellery designing was organised by Mumbai Smiles. Many of the beneficiaries in the community expressed a desire to pursue such a type of course and thus, we at our end managed to connect these beneficiaries with the relevant trainers in this field. We will be conducting the first batch very soon. In total 30 beneficiaries attended this event.

SEED, a skills development program of Mumbai Smiles, seeks to empower women from slum communities with skills that will make them employable and enable them to join the workforce in order to earn a livelihood. Under this program, groups of women receive basic training in a variety of skills such as beautician skills, crafts, retail management marketing, tailoring etc. These professions are identified based on the community’s interest and needs, education and training requirements and job and entrepreneurial prospects.

The session was a success and we could see big smiles on the faces of the beneficiaries after the session. There was a gleam in their innocent eyes –  eyes that dreamt to get empowered socially and economically and consequently live a dignified life.

We are very glad to bring these smiles on their faces and wish to be their companion in fulfilling their dreams.
