With little more than a sewing machine and some fabric, these vocational classes have helped Cambodians in need earn a stable and sustainable income.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long Term Impact<\/strong><br \/>\nIn villages where SimplyHelp schools\u00a0have been\u00a0located, many tailoring shops have been\u00a0established by\u00a0the school&#8217;s\u00a0graduates. This gives locals a chance to earn a steady, reliable income through tailoring, rather than having to rely on the more physically intensive and unpredictable trades of rice farming or cow herding.<\/p>\n<p>The tailoring shops have existed for several years and continue to be run by proud shop owners and loyal apprentices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tailoring school economy in the rural areas has been very active:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\u2022 The Cambodian government, in cooperation with a Japanese NGO, offers 3-month training courses. Students pay to attend these classes.<\/ol>\n<ol>\u2022 In contrast, Simply Help Cambodia offers 6month training courses for free.<\/ol>\n<ol>\u2022 Our graduate tailors take on apprentices. An apprentice is willing to pay $150 to our tailors because they offer superior training that the government tailoring schools cannot match. In exchange for the $150, apprentices can stay with a tailor until they have learned and mastered everything the tailor has to offer.<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.simplyhelp.org\/wordpress\/images\/subheadings_projects_social_01_.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"content_heading2\">Social Impact<\/p>\n<p>According to Vuthi Seng, Executive Director of Simply Help Inc. Cambodia,\u00a0 the social status of women increases once they graduate from one of SimplyHelp\u2019s tailoring schools. This is because newly-married women earning an income have a more equal relationship with their husbands, and\u00a0have resources to\u00a0support their families.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.simplyhelp.org\/wordpress\/images\/subheadings_projects_economic_01_.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"content_heading2\">Economic Impact<\/p>\n<p>All students at the Simply Help Tailoring School come from farming and cow herding backgrounds\u00a0with an average income of $1 to $2 perday.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates that start their own small tailoring businesses may earn an average income of $3 to $7 per day.<\/p>\n<p>Tailors may use this extra income to improve the structure of their homes, receive better health care, send a son or daughter to university schooling, and\/or improve their own businesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2012-08-17 Update Information<br \/>\nDue to the insufficient fund for this project on 2012, we feel very sorry and have to put this process on hold.
