Unemployment and underemployment are major problems affecting today’s youth and society. The effects of these are most acutely felt in low-income communities.

We believe that every young person has the potential to succeed. All it takes is quality training and a nurturing environment. We thus strive to empower underprivileged youth by giving them access to quality training, mentoring and equipping them to be job ready, with the right skills, attitude and mindset for work.

We do this through the following programmes:

-Vocational Training and Placement

- Career Counselling and Guidance for Adolescents

- Employability Skills Training for Youth in ITI

-Training of Trainers at ITI

- Women's Empowerment Programme - Skilling and Entrepreneurship

Our holistic programmes are implemented with a 360° approach encompassing the entire community around the youth. We engage various stakeholders in the community and create an enabling environment for the youth to take charge of their own future.

Some of the crucial impact as seen on our youth:

-Steering youth away from aimless wandering, potential drug abuse and crime to becoming trained and employed .

-From low self-confidence to thinking “i can and i will”

-From short-term orientation to developing a vision for one’s life- trainees begin to think in terms of a planned career path as opposed to a job for subsistence.

Impact On the families:

-For families whose monthly income is between Rs. 5000/- to Rs. 7,000/- a regular salary more than doubles the family income.

-Better bargaining power for girls within the family- Daughters with an income that enables them to be independent have more say in decisions regarding their own future.

-Better education of younger siblings

-Improved nutrition levels of the whole family

Impact On the Employer:

-An attitude of striving for growth- this means reduced attrition and high quality performance in the workplace.

The impact on the whole community is slow but sure. As we reach out to more youth within a community, the multiplier effect will make our work easier and the impact more significant
