Help Indian Girl Not Work But Go To School

Dear Supporters and Well-Wishers,

Hope you are having fun. 

At SANTI, our commitment to eradicating child labor goes hand in hand with empowering the women who are at the heart of these communities. We firmly believe in the adage, "When you empower a woman, you empower a community." Here are some of our key accomplishments this quarter:

1. Empowering SHG Leaders:

With the support of Dalmia Cement Bharat Ltd (DCBL) in Rajgangpur, we organized our 10th batch of Micro Enterprises Development Training for Self Help Group (SHG) leaders. A total of 30 beneficiaries from each WSHG, including the president and secretary, were part of this transformative initiative. Each of the 150 SHGs that participated received a steel box, a darry, a register, and a banner courtesy of DCBL.

2. Promoting Health and Hygiene:

Health is wealth, and with this in mind, we organized an awareness program titled SWATCHHATA PAKWADA 2023. Hosted at Rajgangpur's Community Health Centre and facilitated by Dr. U.C. Toppo, this event saw participation from ASHA workers, ANM, AWW, NGO volunteers, and various health activists. Together, we shared and discussed best practices to promote health and hygiene in our communities.

3. Skilling and Employment:

We are proud to announce that we successfully completed the stitching of uniforms for 300 staff members of DCBL, providing each individual with 2 pairs. This not only provided employment opportunities for our women but also showcased the skills they've honed. Meanwhile, our second batch of tailoring training is ongoing, and the enthusiasm we see is truly heartwarming.

Your continued support makes these programs possible, and each step we take is a stride towards a brighter future for these women and, by extension, their communities. Together, we can make child labor a thing of the past, ensuring brighter and more secure futures for all.

Thank you,

Ashok Dandpat
