Programs

Project Sampoorna - Skill
Project Sampoorna aims to provide underprivileged children with employable skills and opportunities for work and entrepreneurship. While focussing on instilling a love for learning, teaching skills such as henna design, embroidery, beautician skills, and computer operation are imparted. The goal is to end child labour and empower these children to lead successful lives. Through vocational training, children discover their hidden talents and create art that is sold at shows to support their education and self-sufficiency. It is believed that by encouraging handmade crafts, one can uplift individuals, families, small businesses, and the economy, while also nurturing the artist's heart.
