We have two projects in the area of improving livelihood options for the underpriviledged. The details are as follows:

Srijan

Project Type: Community Campaign

AID-Gurgaon has proposed the project “SRIJAN”, aiming at a Beggar Free Society (currently covering National Capital Region [NCR]). The initial phase of this project will focus on creating awareness among the public by means of schools, colleges, corporate, emails, flyers, banners, and media. We also plan to prepare a report on Beggary in India based on the survey we would conduct of the existing government facilities and programmes for beggars as well as incorporating general public’s suggestions/ideas. With that report, we would approach the government and other organisations working towards rehabilitation of beggars and extend a helping hand to work toward providing them (beggars) an alternative life support system.

Project Type: Livelihood

Under this project we run sewing classes for select students at Disha and Unnati education centres after the class timings. This helps us impart basic skills that will enable these students to have earning option in future. This also helps build confidence in these youth that they can learn and earn from their skills. Another benifit of running this program at our education centres is that we are able to utilise the space infrastructure to its best.
