Throughout the bordering regions between Pakistan and India, there are hundreds of thousands of women and girls that have limited access to income. There are orphan children and women that have very little opportunity. ITK Foundation has set up temporary schools throughout the region where female students are given their own sewing machines and can enroll in a short-term course taught by a sewing instructor. The students receive a graduation certificate upon completion of the course and then are able to work to produce clothing and additional textiles from which they can generate reoccurring income to support themselves and their families. As of January 2023, ITK has educated and provided sewing machines to over 120 students.
