ABOUT US
Prakasa Co is a women's empowerment organization fighting for gender equality globally. The main objective is to enhance the quality of life of women through sewing training and small business skills. This will help them earn an income, become financially self-sufficient, alleviate the issues tied to poverty and help support their children without being dependent on toxic environments.
After completing sewing and small business training, women can create their own business, secure work in a tailoring shop or create work from home contracts to bring in an income. With the ability to generate an income, women take on a whole new role. They are better able to control resources, influence decision-making and bring change that has a lasting impact on their well-being, their children, and their communities.
