All 50 women have opened Silai Schools in their villages. Now they earnRs. 2,000-10,000 a month.

Each of them will train 20 women in her village. Thus, the programme will have financially empowered 1,000 women impacting 1,000 families in the pilot phase itself.

    - a course booklet in vernacular besides
    - a completion certificate and

  • Locating women who are really in financial need of alternative source of livelihood, but at the same time, who are also motivated to learn and earn.
  • Convincing women or their families, to allow women to move out of their homes for residential training, especially against backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic.
