Livelihood Skill Training For Women On Candle Making 17.10.2017

On 17th October, 2017 a training session on  candle making skill was held at Our lady of Lourdes, Pali. The resource person Ms.Mahima Selvi led the session. The women who participated were earlier selling candles locally with simple and common shapes and sizes. Even the materials they used were too expensive for them.
The training session organized by CSA at CCO level helped them learn six new, different and creative styles of candle making. They learnt how to make mini lamps(diyas) and candles with different molds. The resource person provided her own supply of raw materials required during the session and gave each women a chance to practice on their own.
The techniques demonstrated in the session were simple, interesting and easy to grasp. She informed them of locations nearby where they could purchase the same materials at a much affordable price. This initiative will go a long way in making the women financially independent and improving their standard of living.






Location: Pali Chowk Road, Uttan, Bhayander West, Thane, Maharashtra 401106, India
