Hello
Wish you will have fun with friends and families over coming Christmas holidays.
We had a great year in providing training to young women and want to touch base on the updates on our side.
- Beginning of the year we started to train 3-4 young girls in the tailoring and alteration work. This was to support local market needs. Training and the work was done in our newly partially built house.
- Now we are fully functional in providing training to Seven (7) students. We pay all of them based on their work produced and sold in the market.
- Three (3) students are earning about INR 5000 per month and Four (4) other students are still learning and earning in the range of INR 2000 – INR 3000 per month.
Training these students and providing them a path to successfully earn money was a big thing and we feel that is one of the greatest achievement for us. This year we came a long way to motivate them and pay all of them. We are successful because of your continuous donation, support and inspiration to do better in our work.
This was a very successful year and hope to assist more people next year to make their living.
Thanks
Ashok Dandpat
Please donate in this festive season.

Towards self sustainability
By Ashok Dandpat | Project Leader

Hello Friends,
Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. This day honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of the country.
In India child labor is a complex issue and we have taken the initiative to find a better solution. We are moving forward to provide special classes of respective grades to the youth and also we are focusing to teach sewing skills to make them self-sustained.
In last two reports I highlighted the turning point story of Sabita and how we changed Nelan’s life. Both of them are doing great in developing their skills and learning in school. They are grateful to SANTI as they were provided a great platform to be successful.
We are making sure that they improve their sewing skills. They have proven that the local people like their product but I would say there is room for improvement. We are sharpening their skills in such a way that in future they can start their own shop or a venue. None the less now they are earning about INR 5000 per month by sewing work through SANTI.
We have two challenges –
- We need to buy some more machines, so that we can start adding more students to the team and we need your support.
- We need at least one embroidery machine which is kind of expensive, but that will help us to stand out in local market.
Please cheer up to celebrate the success of Nelan and Sabita and come forward to donate so that we can bring more success stories to you.
It is possible just because of you.
Thanks
Ashok

Turning Point Story of Sabita
By Ashok Dandpat | Project Leader

Dear friends
Sabita belongs to the poor section of the Rajgangpur, her father works as a security guard earning Rs. 5000 per month but he wastes most of them by drinking alcohol. Her mom is a housewife and looks after her four children. Life became challenging and tough for Sabita when she was studying in 12th grade. She started working as a maid in nearby homes, when Mr. Sarat Pati came to know about her. As she was hard working and interested to learn, we enrolled her in SANTI Sewing course funded by your support. That was the turning point of her life, she became very interested in sewing and currently we can say she is one of our best.
Recently, Sabita led the effort to sell blouses at Rajgangpur Jharjhara Mahotsav (Festival). Together with 6 other youths of SANTI, Sabita was able to sell more than 100 blouses. Currently she is able to take home about Rs. 5000 per month. With huge support from SANTI she feels secured and recently completed 12th grade in Arts with second division. This is a major accomplishment for her as before SANTI she was about to give up. We wish her to achieve better success in future and will encourage her to study further.
This is a proud moment! When your donation really turned Sabita’s life in a different direction, I bet you are also proud of this achievement. Without your support it was not possible. We would like you to continue support as we need more sewing machines to be used by others to bring similar success.
Thanks again
