I am going to run.. run for a cause I believe in, & add my little bit to empower women. Men and women form up our society and in order to maintain the balance of the society both should be equal. But we see that women are suffocating under the burden of male dominant society & are held back by the chains of judgments and responsibility the society has loaded on them. Empowering women will encourage & inspire them to choose their path and do what they want.
The money I raise will go towards the vocational training of underprivileged women in the slums of Malwani in Malad, a human dumping ground.
Concern will provide livelihood opportunities for marginalized women and youth in the community. The programme works towards promoting employment-oriented skills among women and youth in the community through various vocational training programmes so that they can work and earn for themselves. The most popular courses are tailoring, artificial jewelry making and the beautician courses. Many women have got jobs for themselves after completing the training while others have set up their own small businesses jewelry business. One such woman buys the material from the wholesale market, makes the jewelry pieces and sells them back to the wholesale market. Today she has employed others from the program to work with her. The program has many such success stories.
I hope you will donate to my run and help me in my endeavors.
I hope you will sign this pledge too!!
