Indian Development Foundation in collaboration with Dr.LG Swayam Shakti Project (LGSSP) in Hayat Nagar, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh launched the first
women empowerment programme on 18-06-2012
IDF
team Dr.Narayan Iyer, Mr. Samuel Vincent, Mr. Sanjay Ram and Mr. P. V. Rao -
were present for the inauguration.
In
CSS NAM School we from IDF are running a Bal Gurukul. All the children in this
school are from the nearby slums which has a large population of Lambadi
tribes. Current strength of this school is 400. These ladies from the slums are
not educated and do not have any skill. But they are showing lot of interest to
learn and earn for their family and children.
This project is for the women
from rural and urban poor women working in the informal sector and also for
mothers of these children of our Bal Gurukul who after leaving the child in
school are just working as casual laborers ( if and when they get – not
regularly).
This project would train these ladies in tailoring and make them
self reliant. The tailoring course is for 3 months. After the training they are
given a job work so that they can earn from the same project. We have donated 8
sewing machines, 2 heavy duty machines for taking up job works and one specialized machine so that they can train
at least 10 women in each batch and can run min 4- 5 batches in a day so that
they can train minimum 50 women in 3 months. The building for this project is
donated by Dr.Laxmi Ganga from USA. This training can continue throughout.
Already 60 women are enrolled for this programme.
Dr.
Vijayalakshmi and Mrs. Janaki and Mrs.Prameela from CSS NAM thanked IDF team
for the wonderful support.
