Bimonthly Report - December 2018 to January 2019
Hello friends,
AWAG is pleased to share the Bimonthly Progress Report with regard to our project BUILD CAPACITIES OF 400 DEPRIVED GIRLS IN GUJARAT.
In celebration of our hard work, AWAG has been vetted by GlobalGiving for being actively engaged in their community and as a top-ranked organization in 2018! AWAG takes this opportunity to express gratitude to all our donors and well wishers for helping us realize our vision, and look forward to your continued support as a trusted partner and change-maker. What's more, we’ve also received the Site Visit Verified badge because we hosted a GlobalGiving representative.
UPDATE ON ACTIVITIES
Awareness Raising:
As part of building capacities of adolescent girls and young women at the community level, AWAG organised an Awareness Raising Workshops for community women and young girls at AWAG Kendra, Ahmedabad. A total of 46 young women showed their active participation. The workshop created awareness about gender abuse and mechanisms to fight this social evil.
Counselling:
Counselling is an ongoing feature at AWAG. AWAG's counsellor provided individual and group counselling support periodically to all the girls residing at AWAG's Migration Support Centre. A concept based on that of a 'home away from home' in the form of counselling services, accommodation assistance, periodic get-togethers, ensures a supportive environment for a progressive career growth for these youth. Initial homesickness, adjustment issues with relation to a new environment, pressure from seniors at the workplace to increase sales and work for longer durations are some of the common issues faced by these young girls.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
