UN’masking’ Opportunities

HEADING – UN’masking’ Opportunities

Trained by the NGO Awahaan, the women of a local self-help group in

Sarojini Nagar Basti in Lucknow were stitching school uniforms,

augmenting their family income.

With the center in lockdown and the women self-isolating, income

sources were drying up. This put both livelihood and health in peril, so

they decided to turn their skills to stitching masks – a 24 cm by 15 cm

cloth piece that offers both safety and security - safety from the virus

and security of income. Sheetal – the center manager took it upon

herself to coordinate ‘work from home’ for the SHG members and

ensured flawless working of the supply chain. Word of their initiative

reached Khadi Gramodyog Sansthan, who stepped in to provide

quality cotton free of charge and offered to buy the stitched masks.

Buoyed by this partnership, these spirited women have produced

4000+ masks, adding to the family income.
