Empowering parents in slum communities with vocational skills for financial independence

The need

  • Many people in Mumbai are lost as to how to earn a living for themselves or their families which causes desperation and the resort to unsafe, undignified means.
  • Without a proper income, children cannot be sent to school and instead are taken out to work.

Our work

  • To help provide individuals with vocational skills and training, we are currently conducting mehendi, tailoring, and literacy classes.
  • Going forward, we are looking to empower the locals with the skills and resources to run their own businesses.
  • For trainees who have completed courses with us, we run short-term employment projects such as Christmas-card designing and paper-bag making. We hope to develop these pilot endeavors into small and medium income-generation enterprises for trainees.

Life changing results

  • In equipping people with training and experience, individuals now have a hope and brighter outlook for the future.
  • By becoming employed or by learning to start their own business, men and women are more financially secure and can now provide for their families.
  • As the cycle of poverty is broken, women are now empowered to send their children back to school.

Nikhat’s story

The eldest daughter in a family of six Nikhat had to take on the responsibility of looking after all her siblings

Living in such a huge family her future aspirations were gone unheard. At 17 years of age, the focus and necessity of caring for the family meant she had to grow up fast. She dropped out of school by third standard as household chores at home became a pressing priority. Studies were overlooked and Nikhat’s education came to a complete standstill. Nonetheless, her heart was stirred the day she entered our community centre and the burning desire to find deeper meaning to her life was strengthened.

As the trust between the team and Nikhat grew, she expressed her passion for studies. After counselling with both the parents, she is now enrolled in vocational training studying tailoring.

Being a mature young woman, she still holds family in the highest of all respects. Nikhat found a way to apply her new skills in her daily living by making dresses for all her younger sisters. We can see a real change in her attitude as the team has shown her that once she takes care of herself, she is able to look after her family even more.
