TA Foundation’s effort to empower single or poor mothers with sewing skills proved extremely fruitful when 900 sets of new hand-sewn school uniforms were donated to 12 deserving schools at the TA Family Living Skills Centre (TAFLSC).

Set up by TA Foundation more than a year ago, TAFLSC is a project to equip poor families living in Taman Medan with skills and knowledge needed at work and school to be more self-reliant.
