Sayali Sane (name changed), lives in a low income settlement in Yerwada, Pune, Maharashtra. The national lockdown pushed her family into a financial crisis. While Sayali gathered the courage required to support her family, her lack of knowledge & technical expertise only resulted in repeated job rejections.
Through our skilling initiative, she was able to complete a 45-hour program that included skills training for effective communication in English, computer skills while also gaining an understanding of the retail and BPO sectors.
Our skilling program proved to be the spark she needed, which helped her land a job in a Reliance Fresh Retail Mart in Wagholi, Pune. She continues to work there as a Retail Executive and earns INR 11000/- per month. Her income has enabled her family to stay afloat during these tough times. Sayali’s success inspires us to continue giving more young women the skills and opportunities they need to make way for new aspirations while securing their families financially.
“Being economically independent has developed my confidence and strengthened my self-reliance. I am very happy that STCI has enabled me to learn and support my family.” – Sayali (translated from Marathi).
To provide continued support to these women and girl’s, through generous support from donors like you, we urge you to keep donating and support the survivors of trafficking, and ensure their timely rehabilitation.
