TAS

🌻🌼 With immense pleasure, we are announcing a new collaboration between *TAS* and *Asha Jyothi* .🌼🌻

Asha Jyothi is a non-profit social organization working towards livelihood development and empowerment of underserved communities through skill-building and sustainable support systems.

The first phase of our collaboration was marked with Asha Jyothi Pennsylvania Unit's support with essential machines for our Tailoring and Stitching unit in Siliguri. And we couldn't be more grateful for this meaningful support. 😇

Beyond this, they have assured continued involvement—observing our work with new beneficiaries, guiding the process, and standing alongside us as we move forward. This is just the beginning.😇

This collaboration was formally announced today at the certification ceremony of beneficiaries who successfully completed Tailoring and Stitching Training conducted by TAS, in collaboration with Reach India Trust, held at the Siliguri Shohaag store/workshop.

The ceremony marked not just the completion of training, but the start of a more empowered and self-reliant journey for our beneficiaries.

We look forward to building meaningful impact together through shared commitment and collective effort.

Wishing everyone a warm and joyful Poush Parbon, Pongal and Lohri. 🌾🔥
May this harvest season bring growth, hope, and new opportunities for all.

⭐🌸TAS is currently mentoring a Designer Candle Making Workshop for the enthusiastic young women of Hantapara Tea garden area of Alipurduar district. This wonderful workshop is organised by ADIVASI UTTHAN MULTIPURPOSE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY.

Saroja Chhetri and Khusboo Sharma, the very efficient trainers of The Ajambari Tales (a TAS Initiative) are sharing their expertise, guiding and training these girls to upgrade their skills to become self reliant. These women are really keen to learn and full of potential. All they need is a helping hand. TAS is honoured to be associated with this initiative.
Thanks Rupam Deb for initiating the collaboration.

Training with 25 women from marginalised backgrounds in the Bagrakote Slum area in association with Reach India Trust, has been a meaningful journey for us at TAS. Today is their exam day, and watching them put their newly learned skills to the test will be a proud moment for us.

Some of them have truly surprised us with their dedication. Many shared how they want to use this skill to build a stronger future for their families, especially to support their children’s education. Hearing their stories, their struggles, and their hopes has made this entire effort feel even more significant.

For us at TAS, the real work begins after the training ends. Handholding, guiding, and standing by them as they take their next steps.That is where our heart truly lies. We are already in the process of new ideas to make this initiative sustainable and impactful.

From this batch, we have chosen the 8 most sincere and hardworking women to begin their internship with us next week. We’re excited, hopeful, and deeply moved to be part of their journey forward.
Thank you Nandita di for mentoring them, thanks to Shikha Mukherjee for managing this project along with Aditi Ghosh.

We are hopeful! ☘️
