Digital Livelihoods for 1,000,000 At-risk Youth

Dear Friends and Supporters,

For 2015-16 we have set ourselves a target to train 15,000 marginalized women and youth from high-need communities; with the specific objective of enhancing their socio-economic status with the help of digital livelihood training.

Over the last decade Anudip has witnessed a slow but steady change in these communities’ perception towards digital livelihood and its power to shape a better future for them. Today digital livelihood is creating sustainable livelihood opportunity for rural and peri-urban impoverished communities across India. In an effort to meet its mission to train 150,000 poor women and youth through market aligned skills training and IT projects service by 2020, Anudip is extensively entering new Indian states like Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Our centers are carefully chosen keeping in mind easier accessibility for poor women and youth. This not only helps in the attendance of the students during the training but also helps in student counselling sessions prior to the training program. It is vital to involve community and family members in these sessions since it improves ultimate job placement and retention of students. Anudip has successfully placed 75% of its students into corporate jobs and business start-ups since inception.

With your donations and GlobalGiving’s support, Anudip has been able to reach 45,000+ youth in need of new/alternative careers. Even small amounts donated have made significate impact on them and their families. Thank you for helping us shape a better future for these students through our programs!
