Make 50 Survivors Of Violence Work Ready

"I used to live with my parents and elder brother. There were a lot of unnecessary brawls in my house on a regular basis. My father suddenly got remarried with another woman and stopped looking after us properly. So, we were forced to separate from my father and had to start living alone. My mother used to work as a Domestic Help in various houses and earn our livelihood. After that, we shifted to Mumbai for a better-earning opportunity. My mother started to work there as a Housemaid. Unfortunately, she became ill, and we did not have enough money for her treatment. She suffered for weeks and finally expired after two months. After that incident, we became helpless and unaccompanied in this whole wide world. To suffice our daily living I started working as domestic help but was trafficked by one of my employers. After that, the police rescued me from there and transferred me to a Home. Later on, I was shifted at Jabala’s Shelter Home. 

I was devastated and stressed. Jabala helped me gain back my confidence through various cultural therapies and counselling sessions. There I started to learn zari work, tailoring, and later I was given special training for catering management. I knew that I had to do something to become independent in life and so I decided to work hard and started focusing more on my training. After a few months of training, Jabala helped me to cultivate my interest and facilitated my placement in a reputed Canteen as a cook. I have been working there with a salary of Rupees 7000 and it helped me to gain back my self-confidence.

I am an independent and confident woman now, and I am grateful to Jabala for helping me out in this endeavour."

"My life is my choice and I choose to be happy and independent! I thank you all for helping me out in this journey."
