Empowering Through Unity: The WIM Group’s Journey
By implementing a socialist strategy, they have harnessed the power of group activities to promote moral behavior and effective communication, shaping a supportive community system. These platforms engage society in activities that foster a balanced, natural lifestyle.
Engaging with a local sewing group, I observed the challenges they face and why they choose sewing over other activities. I conducted a simple interview with two women and four young girls who came at different times to sew or learn. Their emotional engagement in the activities was evident, while I shared new DIY ideas I had learned online. My files were packed with tutorials and materials I was willing to share, even spending extra money for necessary supplies. However, I noticed hesitation in group work, which led them to explain why they sew.
Group work helps women raise their families and share their struggles. Working together provides support for raising their children.
As the saying goes, “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
Sewing helps their children engage in creative activities like doll making and playing with clay, fostering their creativity and supporting their mental development. Sewing is not just an act but also involves beliefs and cultural practices. Some sew to communicate with others, exercise, find hope and courage, heal their souls, and earn a small income to support their families.
This work requires courage and a calm environment to develop more skills in designing.
Most of their time is spent sewing while enduring daily life’s pain and suffering.
In developing countries, sewing without a guaranteed income is challenging. That’s why many women also run small shops or engage in microfinance activities as a group.
"Believing is virtual, doing is practice, following is a choice, and achieving goals requires effort".
My busy schedule included various jobs to support my financial needs. Balancing these responsibilities took time, but perfecting my stitching always brought me joy, especially when the children needed new designs.
I believe intellect is powerful, but without guidance, it can lead to destruction.
Working at youth workshops was always more fun. Teamwork made it easy to share opinions and get things done. As the saying goes, “Unity is power… It can be done, just do your part.”
