This project aims to provide vocational skill training to 500 poor rural youth from women-headed families in Trichy and surrounding districts of Tamil Nadu, India. The initiative will support these young people with scholarships, free meals, and travel assistance, enabling them to complete their training without financial burden and prepare for sustainable employment and livelihood opportunities.
Due to unreliable monsoons (average rainfall 350-500 mm), many men from rural areas migrate to nearby towns in search of income. This temporary migration, coupled with issues such as alcoholism, has forced women to shoulder the full responsibility of their families. As a result, children in these households struggle to continue their education, and many young people drop out and enter informal, low-paid, and unsafe work.
To build a secure future, rural youth need both personal and financial support. Vocational skill training offers a practical pathway, equipping them with job-ready skills in a short time without the burden of high education costs. Through this project, 500 youth will receive comprehensive support including course fees, uniforms, textbooks, stationery, lunch, and travel allowance. By removing financial barriers and providing structured training, the program will enhance their employability.
In the long run, this project will help 500 rural youth secure steady jobs, build financial independence, and support their families with dignity. By enabling skill-based employment, the project reduces poverty, prevents unsafe and exploitative labour, and strengthens women-headed households. Over time, these trained youth will become role models in their villages, inspiring a culture of education, skills, and self-reliance across rural communities.
