Dear Reader,
With some relief from Covid 19 after July 2021, we have started offline classes also. Though a lot of students took online classes, the students with limited digital needs started coming for learning to the Women Empowerment centres across Noida and Jaipur in India. While ensuring social distancing norms and proper sanitization we held classes in the Hybrid Model - both offline and online.
The focus for the last quarter was mainly on the Healthcare Course for entry level jobs. During the period we enrolled and certified 144 women and 74 of them were placed into jobs. This helped them take care of their families in the torrid Covid 19 situation.
Since April 2021 we have been able to enrol 750 students in our courses - Basic Computers, Health Care & Hospitality, Beauty & Wellness, Tailoring and Fashion design and place 210 of them
A slow beginning after the 2nd wave of Covid 19 and the resultant Lockdown but with cooperation of our beneficiaries and support of their families we are getting back on rails in or mission to "Transform Lives".
