Help foundation has been working for women empowerment for more than two decades. At Help Foundation we increase the ability of a women to successfully manage their own livelihood options and improve their security for a dignified life.

WHY AND HOW WE DO IT

Help Foundation while working with orphans tried to understand their plight and how their life can be made better. It came to light that one of the factors that made these children suffer is the economic state of their home. Also women were suffering emotionally and financially which had an impact on the growing kid. In order to improve the situation and cater to the needs of the children and their suffering mothers, skill based training centres were started by Help Foundation where different types of skill training was imparted to these women.

These training centres had two fold purposes. They act as therapy centre for the women, where they meet other women and give vent to their suffering Also the skill that they acquired through the training helped them to give wings to their creativity and create beautiful products.

Help foundation also provides a platform for the sale of its artisan products .An outlet called SEHJAAR was established at Saida Kadal in 2005.Later was shifted to Raj Bagh and is now currently at 50 Tulsi Bagh.Sehjaar is also promoting the sale of these products via social media.
