Our magnificent Training & Education Centre is a new community asset, custom built to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our adult training programmes in the day time, and after-school evening tuition for children at night.
Large equipped training rooms, a computer room, office space, kitchens, toilets and showers are set within a large and secure campus. This offers a significant improvement on our old cramped and rented facilities where the security of equipment like sewing machines was a continuing concern.
The site includes sanitation and water purification enabling its users to access safe water, mostly for the first time. The secure campus provides a unique safe women-only space for peer support and counselling. In the rural villages we serve menstruating women and girls are banned from their homes but the centre provides accommodation during their periods.
As an independent facility the centre is a focus for joy and pride in the community. With our Indian partners we have designed it to be a place where children of different castes learn together, and parents have access to learning across generations.
