We are working towards the empowerment of unprivileged women in the district of New Delhi. We have realized that financial stability is the best enabler for poor women living in this area, and we are providing them with skills training so that they can gain employment opportunities and become economically stable. 

The pressure of survival often severely affects the mental health of single, mothers rendering it further difficult to lean on (or even access) any external support structures, caught up instead in a state of constant coping. It is, therefore, necessary to uplift the status of women to a basic level of self-sustained economic independence from the cycle of abuse, as this is the only way to ensure they do not stay in an abusive relationship with their children. Aashayien is the program where we provide training to underprivileged women, refugees, and single mothers skill training from Basic to Advance. We identify and select women who have the passion and need for learning and earning. Livelihoods options for women: via active initiation and engagement in a process of rehabilitation, aimed at generating viable and sustainable income-generating opportunities.

 At the end of the term, an examination is held to determine their knowledge and understanding of the program and the skills being taught and their results are declared accordingly.

One unit of donations to this program will cover the cost of the trainer’s salary, rent, electricity, and centre maintenance for one student for a month.

By providing Skill training to these women, we will not only be making them financially independent but also help them in building healthy self-esteem. Last but not the least, these women shall be able to provide economic support to their families once they start earning.
