In partnership with three non-profit
organizations, Lend-A-Hand India achieved the following results during
2004:
- 40 adolescent girls from slum communities in Mumbai successfully
completed training in tailoring and tattoo making. Most of them are
gainfully employed.
- 650 high-school students from five rural villages participated in
a career counseling program which included aptitude testing and counseling.
Being far from such facilities which are ordinarily available at urban
locations, this was the first experience of its kind for the young
rural boys and girls.
- 60 young men and women from low-income families in Mumbai completed
a six-month community leadership program followed by an internship.
Most of the graduates are now employed in community based organizations
and some are in the process of starting their own organizations.
