QUARTERLY REPORT- OCTOBER 2019- DECEMBER 2019
SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM- WOMEN LITERACY & EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
Women Literacy & Empowerment Program (WLEP) is a program of Virmani Trust zealously working to provide functional literacy to underprivileged illiterate adult women. We started off with this beautiful journey in 2004 with only 2 centers at Majnu Ka Tila, Delhi teaching 60 beneficiaries. There were hindrances and ups & downs and at one point we even thought of giving up. The dedication and enthusiasm of our Chairman, President, C.E.O and our Women Literacy Team did not let us fall and also the mission of the forefathers of Virmani Trust “Giving back to society” kept us motivated and unstoppable.
We feel really proud to share with you that today we have 646 centers in Delhi, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, and Haryana teaching 38,760 beneficiaries. During the last 14 years, 2,50,000 women, their families, and the community have benefited from our program. Beneficiaries are taught to read and write Hindi and Arithmetic.
VISIT: Outlook Team visited the Women Literacy Centers of Model Town, Delhi along with the Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited and Women Literacy & Empowerment Team, Virmani Education Trust and interacted with the beneficiaries.
RALLIES AND CAMPAIGNS
Conducting rallies are an important segment of the Women Literacy Program and are critical for the well- being of India’s population. Through rallies, the community is sensitized about health & hygiene, sanitation, online payment of electricity bills, Women Literacy Centers, and the importance of education.
Induration from October to December, 1,806 rallies have been conducted to aware of the communities.
MEDICAL CAMPS AND EYE CAMPS
We are very much aware of the fact that private hospitals charge expensive fees for various basic tests and medication. The major reason behind the medical health camps and eye camps are to provide the destitute communities with free tests and low-cost medication. People don’t have to travel to distant places for minor checkups.
In total, 54 Medical Camps and 10 Eye Camps were set up in the destitute communities.
SAFETY REGARDING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
On November 13, 2019, a session was organized to aware of the Senior Coordinators, Coordinators and Center in-charges regarding the safety against the electrical appliances.
CELEBRATIONS
Various festivals were celebrated such as Diwali, Christmas and New Year to freshen up the beneficiaries from their stressful lives.
