Success is not only a goal, it is a journey. When you commit yourself to the journey, the goal is surely there to be attained!!

Sambhava Foundation in the past one year has covered many milestones and is working successfully towards enabling women from lower economic strata to move up the ladder and gain monetary independence.

We have trained 150 girls from Delhi in skills like Retail, Hospitality and IT and placed 78% of them who are earning a monthly salary of more than 8000 INR approximately.

Apart from this, in the past one year, our beneficiaries sponsored for diploma courses in travel management and Apparel Manufacturing Technology are placed with companies and earning more than ten thousand per month.

This past one year has been a great experience for Sambhava. Apart from delivering promising results, we have had our share of mistakes and learning.  We really thank our project partners-
Bunyaad Foundation, TMI Academy and ATDC who has worked so hard towards attaining and fulfilling our objective.

Another success Story!!

Parveen, also known as Ruksaar, got employed with Utsav Fashion, earning a monthly salary of Rs 13,3091 per month. Parveen completed her one year Diploma in Apparel Manufacturing Technology in August 2015 from ATDC (Apparel Training & design Centre) Okhla.

Belonging  to a family with  limited financial resources, she was not able to join the course with ATDC owing to same reasons and was then referred to Sambhava for Sponsorship program in August 2014 by the principal, ATDC. Owing to her will and determination, Sambhava granted her sponsorship covering 85% of the course fee and monitored her progress in that one year.

Today, we can proudly announce that with sheer will power and hard work she has managed to stand independently. Sambhava wish her all the best for her future endeavours and success in her life.

Hunar: Workshop on Financial & Legal Literacy

Bunyaad Foundation, our implementation partner organized a 3 hour long workshop with a group of 40 girl students, at India International Center on 3^rd July 2015. Hunar is a project aimed at skilling and empowering women and thereafter leading them to employment in  IT and Retail sector. Apart from technical skills, this project is equipped with workshops on enhancing communication skills and increasing awareness on Financial and Legal aspects.

The main objective of the project is to build an overall personality of students who many a times come from a background which does not support basic awareness for girls. This workshop helped our students gain knowledge on laws relevant to women and on how to manage their finances post placement.

The whole activity was a good experience for all students who participated actively throughout. Sambhava Foundation look forward to such activities in future.

Hunar: Empowering Women through Skills

Sambhava Foundation in partnership with Bunyaad Foundation started a project “Hunar” in October 2014. The aim and objective of the project was to impart employable skills and placement opportunity to 100 girls from resource poor background. We are proud to announce that 15 out of 16 girls from the first batch have been employed with Vishal Mega Mart earning a monthly salary ranging in between INR 8000 to 9000. This batch witnessed 1 drop out, who didn’t opted for placement but completed her training program.

Hunar- Workshop on “Communication, Financial Literacy and Legal Awareness”

Bunyaad Foundation organized a workshop under the project “Hunar- Empowering Women through Skills” on 16^th March 2015 at India International Center. The workshop focused on “Communication, Financial Literacy and Legal Awareness”. Two of our batches undergoing training, comprising of almost 40 students participated in the event.

The workshop was organized keeping in mind the needs and requirement of girls who are about to join the workforce, hence all the important 3 components were included in the session.

Financial literacy is an important tool for youths so that they know the importance of saving money and investing profitably. Having a good sound knowledge of legal aspects holds importance for youths especially girls. Hence, Legal and financial experts were invited to give lecture and disseminate information with the help of activities and power point presentation. This made it easily understandable for all students.

Communication is equally important both in personnel and professional life. Tips were given on how to improve communication skills effectively which in turn can increase the chances of getting better jobs in the market.

All the three sessions were enjoyed by the students who also directed their queries to the experts..

The workshop ended with feedback session conducted by Sambhava Foundation.  

"The only disability in life is bad attitude hence I am not disable" - Hari Devi

Hari Devi, 25 years old is a resident of New Delhi. She grew up in a very supportive environment in between friends and family. Born as a non- disabled girl, she was pampered by her siblings in all possible ways.  At the age of 3 years, she suffered from high fever and was detected with Polio Virus which resulted in making her body dysfunctional below the waist.  This was indeed shattering news for her family. As advised by doctors she had to undergo surgery three times to regain some movements in her lower limb.  Thereafter, she was recommended to wear leg brace on a daily basis. Initially, she resisted it strongly as it was making her feel and appear different from others. But gradually realized that this was the only way she could move independently.

Her family decided to keep her at home because they were concerned about her mobility. However, her keen interest towards studies made her parents change their mind. Her parents were very proud of her when she successfully completed her higher secondary from Kendriya Vidyalya, R. K Puram with good grades. She still recalls that moment when during sports period, she fell down due to imbalance and none of her friends turned up for her help instead made fun of her and imitated the way she walked.  This was the first incident when she realized that life is going to be really tough and being strong is the only option left for her. But such incidents didn’t dampen her high spirits.

One day, she received a call from SARTHAK about a training program under the project called “Koshish” implemented by SAMBHAVA Foundation and got herself enrolled in the training program. Right from the beginning she was very determined, full of life and had a strong desire to become financially independent and support her family like her brothers did.  Gradually, she was often found expressing her opinions and views very confidently to others. Indeed her vibrant smile and motivational ideas inspired and influenced lives of many girls.  Over the period of time, the training really promoted her in developing more self confidence in speaking English language. She got to know about the existing job opportunities in corporate sector. She realized that the 3 months of training was instrumental in grooming her, specifically in body language, dressing style and all the relevant skills and attitude to crack the interview.

She gave her first interview at Hatsun – A retail outlet for the profile of Sales Executive. The panel got very impressed by her confidence and enthusiasm towards life. Once again she proved “Where there is Will, there is a Way”!!
