PRARAMBH
Prarambh is a Youth Empowerment Program aimed at developing a unique skill in the youth in villages in Uttarakhand and providing hands on support so they can begin to become financially independent.
Limited learning opportunities and low access to new possibilities restricts their growth, despite their innate desire to earn a livelihood. The program will bring out this talent and nurture it as an opportunity which can empower them and others like them in their villages.
The youth will be exposed to experienced trainers, who will hone their skills, so that they can produce marketable products and services that have a demand in the region and elsewhere.
Not only will the youth in the program be prepared to earn a livelihood, but also be role models, inspiring and encouraging children and other members of the village through their stories.
