Since then WIT has helped many women to develop skills and earn a regular income; this has changed their lives and the lives of their families. In 1983 The Kamila Tyabji WIT Centre and a girls’ hostel was built in Panvel, on the outskirts of Mumbai. Here, educational programs and vocational skills training are taught. It also houses the production units. WIT has created a sound platform to provide training and employment opportunities for the young girls and women in need. Various employment opportunities are also offered at the two Mumbai centres and at Panvel. The products made by women are then marketed through WIT’s retail showrooms at Tardeo, Mahim and Panvel as well as regular sales organized in different parts of the country.
