Skill Development Centre inaugurated at Shram Vihar, Delhi

New Delhi (31 August’18): Sharam Vihar, Near Shaheen Bagh, Delhi is a colony where 400 migrated families are living in very pathetic condition. Male members of these families are daily labors and garbage pickers. Most of the ladies have never gone to school and are illiterate. They are working as household servants and garbage pickers. Their kids are at home whole the day to look after their younger siblings because their father and mother are working. Both the Human Welfare Foundation and Women’s Manifest have been conducting various relief distributions, awareness, and counseling services in this area during the last few years. From the field experience, we identified some talented children and potential ladies who want to develop and bring changes to their life. In this context, the Skill Development Centre is started to provide the various training program for women. To begin with, Stitching and Tailoring Centre was inaugurated on 31st August 2018 by Inspector Tripti Joshi, Crime against Women Cell. Sanjay Ingole, Department of Social Work, Jamia Millia Islamia was the chief guest.

In addition to the skill development training center will provide literacy training to ladies and free education to their children through the Community Learning Centre. Social, legal, health awareness and self-defense training will also be conducted for the ladies of the area. This comprehensive program not only helps them to develop their skill but also increase their self-esteem. Dr. Habeeb Rahman Jamia Millia Islami, Thanveer, felicitated the initiative. Neha delivered welcome address and Shabeena expressed the vote of thanks. Ummai Fathima and Aisha coordinated the program.
