Shamakhi:Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, alongside Alena Aliyeva, visited a social sewing facility in Shamakhi on October 26. During their visit, they received a comprehensive overview of the facility’s operations, which focus on providing employment opportunities and supporting women in need of social assistance.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the facility was established under the ‘Support for the Social Development of Single Mothers’ project, initiated by the ‘Social Integration of Boarding School Graduates’ Youth Public Union. The facility currently employs 21 women and started with state support and an original workforce of 10 women. It has since expanded by opening a branch in the Goylar village of the Shamakhi district, employing nearly 50 women across both locations.
The initiative not only offers employment to single mothers but also to women from low-income families. The primary aim is to increase the workforce, create more job opportunities for women, and enhance the social well-being of families in need.
During their visit, Leyla Aliyeva and Alena Aliyeva engaged with the women, learning about their work and activities. They also took the opportunity to pose for photographs with the employees, showing support and encouragement for their efforts at the facility.
