Dear friends,
Greetings from IDEA!
We are so happy to bring to you this report. As you know, IDEA runs various basic and advance skilling courses for underprivileged women and youth. One such course offers training in beauty care. After completing the course, the students start small beauty parlours from their homes or find employment at spas, salons or local beauty parlours.
Some ambitious students don’t just stop there, they are interested in learning more and want to pursue specialized courses in hair care, make-up or spa treatments. Recently, 4 of our talented students have availed scholarships to learn advance spa therapy treatments from Liva academy of beauty, Pune.
These young women have completed IDEA’s basic and advance beauty parlour course, then they have completed our Entrepreneurial Training programme and are successfully running their own beauty parlours while also working with IDEA as part time instructors.
Realizing their immense potential, our team contacted Liva academy which offers training in spa therapy where they went through rigorous theory and practical training in spa therapy and treatments.
The women were recently awarded course completion certificates which adds to their qualification stating that the therapist has studied the prescribed syllabus successfully and acquired standard theory and practical knowledge and is able to perform treatments professionally.
This opens many doors for these young talented women who have struggled poverty, patriarchy and lack of opportunities. They can now work at reputed spas or even start their own services. This will increase their income and quality of life tremenduosly. We are so proud of them and wish them good luck for their future.
Their success has triggered aspirations in IDEA’s other students who also want to pursue such specialized courses. Hence we request you dear friends to please donate to this project.
Many girls are waiting for just one chance to turn their life around. Let us help them today!
