Dear Friend,
Greetings from El Shaddai Charitable Trust. Women empowerment is the process of granting women the ability to make decisions about their lives, access equal opportunities, and have the power to influence social change. It involves ensuring women have the same rights, resources, and opportunities as men in areas like education, employment, and healthcare. Ultimately, it aims to create a society where women are treated with respect and can reach their full potential.
With social responsibility being an integral part of our mission, and our commitment to transforming lives, we at El Shaddai extend our support and positively impact the societies to create gender balanced learning and skilling opportunities for the future.’
The empowerment programs for girls and women includes teaching computers, literacy, and life skills like tailoring, bag making, mehndi, crochet, knitting and beautician courses. By providing access to education and training programs it will help women and girls develop new skills, knowledge and competencies. We have many homemakers who were trained in various skills/trade and have opened their own avenues to generate income. Every month we have a multitude of womenenrolling in our empowerment programs through our community centres.
