| Project Name | Inhouse Training Program - Karmann Project | |||||||||
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 374000 | |||||||||
| Project Description | Inhouse Training is Mann's flagship program where Mann trains and places PWIDD in employment. Employment training in this program could be for mainstream jobs in sectors like hotels, restaurants etc. or for tailoring, to be placed in the Karmann manufacturing unit. Karmann is a brand of home linens and lifestyle products, that are crafted with great love by our intellectually disabled artisans. Karmann was born as Mann's response during the pandemic when many of our working graduates lost their jobs. We realised that we needed to generate employment for our adults ourselves with many of them being sole earning members of their families. | |||||||||

| Beneficiary Description | Mann's training programs cater to individuals aged 18 years and above, primarily from low income backgrounds. These are individuals who, due to economic constraints, have been deprived of formal training opportunities, compelling their families to make difficult choices between basic necessities and meeting the educational needs of their children. | |||||||||
| Impact | In FY 23-24, the Karmann project plans to cover 125 adults with IDD, including the in training and the artisans. 36 of the 50 artisans are in our Goregaon manufacturing unit and 14 are at our partner site in Kashmir. | |||||||||

| Project Name | Mann's Partnership Program | ||||||
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 209500 | ||||||
| Project Description | Mann’s goal is to impact 5000 IDD adults each year by 2027. We identified NGO Partnerships as an effective route to accelerate growth and maximize impact. Sharing our training curriculum with partner NGOs would enable Mann to get access to a large existing student base. Online training would also eliminate the geographical constraint of operations in Mumbai’s western suburbs and widen Mann’s impact to any part of the city, state or country. While there are hundreds of NGOs all over India doing great work in the disability space, and have similar challenges related to training resources, finances etc. Here is a chance to collaborate and grow together. Mann’s strength lies in its curriculum and mainstream employment capacity. Mann is providing the curriculum and training at no cost to partner nonprofits. The benefit for the NGO Partner is free capacity building for their staff, and access to a curriculum and tracker which they can adapt to each individual’s needs. Our partnership objective is to accelerate Mann’s impact and create livelihoods for as many PwIDDs as possible within a short time frame. | ||||||

| Beneficiary Description | Mann's curriculum is housed on a cloud Zoho platform and called the IEP Tracker. The tracker has been made in partnership with industry experts. For example, the skills of the hospitality industry have been worked on with the Marriott team, INOX helped us with the task in the multiplex industry. The roles have been then mapped, broken down into achievable tasks for the adults. Digitalization of our curriculum was accelerated due to the necessity of online training during the pandemic and was actively encouraged and supported by our well-wishers. This IEP Tracker can be imagined as a large canvas from which a special education trainer can pick and choose topics and create an individualized education plan for each trainee. The tool then allows the trainer to set long term and short term goals, and breaks down tasks to the simplest instructions. It enables the trainer to track the student's progress against these goals. Automated reports are generated that save the trainer a lot of documentation time. And anyone including trainers, coordinators, parents, or counselors are able to check on the student's progress at any point in time. | ||||||
| Impact | Mann has tied up with and trained 17 NGO partners so far. We impart training based on the NGOs needs and the potential for mainstream jobs in the geography. The tie-up could be for training for mainstream jobs or Karmann production. Most of the above partner engagements are in the phase of training their students. A few early partners are ready for the employment training phase. In 23-24, Mann will be training 11 orgs on employments. | ||||||
