right to learn
right to earn
right to grow…
Most working aged men and women in rural India lack basic primary education. Literacy & numeracy though vital need not be the only way forward. At s.o.a.c.h we believe that skills, as much as knowledge, are engines of development.
At s.o.a.c.h our focus is on creative skills that help people develop the wider ability to innovate, problem solve and reflect critically- allowing for qualitative and responsible endeavours.
prahar
Support women empowerment
India is faced with the dual challenge of poor functional literacy and a lack of skilled, trained labour. A paucity of developmental opportunities for rural India and its women, further excludes a large section of the population from participating in the formal economy.
prahar thus supports the poorly literate and inadequately skilled acquire sustainable vocational skills. By training rural women in vocations and soft skills, s.o.a.c.h seeks to actively involve them in leading, shaping and taking responsibility for their own growth and development.
Empowering women with skills and knowledge improves not just their life but also future generations to come.
