Owing to poverty & prevailing gender norms, girls in our project area often don’t go to college. They are married off early and are relegated to a lifetime of domesticity, unpaid care work, and daily wage/ casual work with measly wages.
Through our paramedical training, livelihood programs, awareness campaigns, skill training and so on, we have been able to make a tangible impact on not only their lives but also their families and the communities they live in.
As far as our education and skill training pillar goes, we make sure that all learning through our initiatives is hands-on so that our trainees can effectively apply theory to praxis at their jobs, thus improving their employability. Our skill training programs, career guidance and life skills training activities, vocational training activities, etc. have made a tangible difference to the women, youth and underserved communities in our project areas.
Rural communities have both informational poverty about topics of health and gaps in policy implementation that impacts their access to quality healthcare and the overall health indicators. Through our health camps, awareness programs and advocacy activities, we have been able to make in-roads into change the status quo.
