PROJECT Swabhimaan
At Project Swabhimaan, we believe improving the skill set is the first step of the ladder that leads to self-reliance. So, in wake of the same, we established a skill development centre in Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad in 2020 where we offered various skill courses in various sectors including the IT and apparel sectors. Courses like computer skills courses and stitching skills courses were offered to the locals. Since we seek to achieve the holistic development of our beneficiaries, we also provided personality enhancement and entrepreneurial courses alongside our main skill courses. The project back then strived to provide our graduates with a livelihood by imparting skills, for the same, we connected them with skill development centres of corporate giants that ensure employment or incubate their entrepreneurial ventures.
Our tagline ‘Ek Pahal Aatmanirbharta Ki Oar’ truly resonates with our aim and with our beneficiaries who wish to be self-reliant.
During the pandemic, Project Swabhimaan in collaboration with Jazbaat Foundation also taught 12th-grade students various essential soft skills through an online mode and continues to provide career guidance to the students even after their graduation. The feedback from our beneficiaries is used to determine how the sessions impacted and aided them. So far, we've conducted 8+ upskilling workshops once every month on soft skills such as Time Management, financial literacy, MS Excel-MS Word-MS Powerpoint, and Graphic Designing, etc.
​
Through our new venture of sex education, with our knowledge partner, Pratisandhi Foundation, we wish to create an even greater impact by providing a safe and comfortable environment for our beneficiaries to communicate their concerns and discomforts. Sex Education sows a seed of responsibility in one’s mind towards others as well as oneself. Including Sex Education under Project Swabhimaan along with upskilling sessions will allow us to disseminate information to adolescents and underprivileged women using a curriculum that is age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and gender sensitive. Our sex education workshops also involve various activities in the form of interactive sessions and use visual material to impart imperative knowledge about their Anatomy-Physiology, Puberty-adolescent sexual development, Sexual Health, Consent-Healthy Relationships, etc.
​
Our ultimate goal for Project Swabhimaan is to establish a self-sustaining ecosystem within the community where beneficiaries are aware, trained, and offered employment opportunities which will eventually lead to the upliftment of the community as a whole.
