On July 28, 2023 RCD Luminous has distribute 50 Sewing Machines as part of its “Project Transform”. Project Transform is a continuous project of the club which aims to transform lives through Vocational Development. In order to implement the project, members of club visited Togorband Union, a remote place of Alfadanga upozila in Faridpur.

Dhaka Luminous believe that vocational development can change a persons life. Members of RCC Alfadanga have identified that there are several persons in the village who are skilled at sewing and making tailored dress but can not afford a sewing machine. Providing a sewing machine can greatly transform their lives by enabling them to be self-employed and making them as earning member of their family. Because of this reason, the club has decided to provide sewing machines to 50 poor and needy women to help them build their economic development.
The sewing machines were distributed in a big public gathering at a school field of Kamargram Kanchan Academy. Approximately 1,500 people including social and political leader gathered during the distribution program.
