FLO Chennai organized a member-driven Aari Hand Embroidery training program from June to August, sponsored by FLO members. The initiative aimed to equip rural women with traditional embroidery skills along with modern competencies such as digital and financial literacy, wellness awareness, and communication tools. Fifty women successfully completed both Basic and Advanced Level 1 training.
