Empowering
Through Market Linkages
At Sanchetana, we recognize that establishing deep and sustainable
connections with the market is pivotal for income generation.
For women who've acquired valuable skills at our vocational centers
or received capital assistance, this represents a logical progression.
However, it doesn't end there. We extend our efforts to include
women who haven't directly engaged with these interventions. By
forging connections with wholesalers, factories, and local shops,
we open up income-generating opportunities for these women and
their communities. They, in turn, become catalysts for change.
Many of these women draw in others from their neighborhoods and
families, offering them employment within the comfort of their
homes. This flexible approach empowers women who might otherwise
struggle to balance work and family responsibilities. Our program
also highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of some women who leverage
their skills to involve others, resulting in enhanced earnings
for themselves and their communities. Together, we're creating
a thriving network of economic independence.

Beauty parlor class : Bringing Skills to Your Doorstep: Area-Level
Vocational Training
For those who face challenges in commuting to centers, it offers
basic beauty-parlor and Henna courses right in their neighborhoods.
These courses are conducted in houses arranged by the participants
themselves. Our aim is not only to provide essential skills but
also to encourage them to participate in other courses at our
centers. We believe that these initiatives help women and girls
gradually expand their horizons beyond their immediate communities.
