Dialogue Restores Hope to a Mother ❤️

At Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need, we believe that counselling and mediation can help families find a way forward.

One of the women staying at our Medchal Shelter Home had been separated from her two children. While her son was staying with her parents, her daughter was staying with her husband. Being unable to meet and spend time with her children caused her immense emotional distress.

Our counsellors and legal advisor worked patiently with both her parents and her husband's family through a series of counselling and mediation sessions. Together, they discussed the emotional well-being of the children and the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship between a mother and her children.

After several counselling sessions, both families agreed that she should be able to meet her children at least once every month.

When she was finally able to spend time with her children again, she was overwhelmed with emotion. The reunion brought her immense happiness and renewed hope of remaining an active part of their lives.

At the end of the day, this is what we strive for—not simply resolving disputes, but creating space for dialogue and mediation so that mothers, children, and families can move forward with mutual respect, healthy boundaries, and hope.

Change doesn't happen because someone from outside comes to transform a community. It happens when individuals, families, neighbours, and communities choose to create that change together.

With this belief, Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need brought together community leaders and influencers from Amberpet for an interactive dialogue on preventing gender-based violence.

Through inspiring sessions by Vimala Morthala, Shanta Rao, Dr. Madhavi Shyamala, and Bhargava Gadiyaram, participants explored the root causes of gender-based violence and discussed practical solutions for creating safer communities. Interactive activities and group discussions encouraged everyone to reflect, participate, and share ideas.

Our President, Mrudula Vemulapati, reminded participants that lasting change begins within individuals, families, and communities.

A special thank you to Jyoti madam and Durga madam, Board Members of Sayodhya, for facilitating the interactive activities and games.

Together, we can build communities where every woman and girl lives with dignity, safety, and respect.

Creating the Perfect Summer for Our Community Children

This week, 23 children participating in the Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need Space Camp visited the Birla Science Centre and Planetarium, Hyderabad.

From exploring scientific exhibits and dinosaurs to experiencing the vastness of the universe inside the planetarium, the visit gave children an opportunity to learn through observation, exploration, and discovery.

A major highlight of the visit was the Planetarium show, which took students on a journey from Earth to the Universe and brought many of the concepts discussed during the Space Camp to life.

Experiences like these help bring science to life and make learning both engaging and memorable.

🚀 One summer. New experiences. New possibilities.

Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need 3D Printing Summer Camp for Next Generation Children concluded this week with 16 children from Amberpet successfully completing the program.

On the final day, the children created their own 3D designs on the computer and participated in an interactive session by experts from Creya Learning and Research on the fundamentals and applications of 3D printing.

The session was followed by a live demonstration of a 3D printer, giving students an opportunity to see how digital designs are transformed into physical objects. Certificates were distributed to all participants upon successful completion of the camp.

As a pioneering effort to bring such technology to children in our communities, this has been a wonderful and encouraging experience for our team. With the successful completion of the 3D Printing Summer Camp, we now look forward to our next journey — the Space Summer Camp.

We thank Creya Learning & Research for designing the program, training the trainers, and supporting the implementation of the camp & Gland Pharma Limited for being our support system.

Sometimes, rebuilding a life begins with something very small — a push cart, a sewing machine, or an opportunity to earn independently.

Today, Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need supported vulnerable and single women from the Golnaka bastis of Amberpet through a livelihood support initiative aimed at helping women start small businesses and move towards financial independence.

As part of the initiative:
• 8 women received push carts for vending businesses
• 6 women received sewing machines for tailoring work
• 2 women were supported with materials for small saree businesses

For many women, these are not just livelihood materials. They are opportunities to regain confidence, support their families, and rebuild their lives with dignity.

The initiative was attended by Amberpet MLA Shri Kaleru Venkatesh garu, along with local community leaders and supporters.

At Sayodhya, we believe rehabilitation is not only about shelter and support during crisis, but also about helping women create sustainable and independent futures.

Today, 31 children from the slums of Amberpet visited T-Works as part of the Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need 3D Printing Summer Camp for Next Generation Children.

For many of the children, this was their first time visiting a place filled with machines, robotics spaces, fabrication labs, and 3D printing technology.

The visit helped the children see how ideas and creativity can become real products through technology and design. The children explored different spaces at T-Works and interacted with new technologies and machines.

The one-week summer camp will conclude with the children creating and printing their own 3D designs.

Sometimes, one exposure visit can open up a completely new world for a child.

Special thanks to Creya Learning and Research for designing the program and training the trainers for our children. Our internship students and cadre Durga for supporting the program.

We also thank the T-Works team for facilitating this exposure visit.

And of course thank you Gland Pharma Limited for supporting our educational programs.
