Ansuya, meaning ‘learned woman’ in Sanskrit, is an initiative which provides vocational and life skills training to slum-dwelling girls. Our aim is to provide these women with a unique learning opportunity so as to instil in them self-confidence and a general curiosity towards the world. Over and above that, the idea is to help them create an identity of their own by introducing to them a means of
livelihood that they enjoy. Courses Covered:
1) Vocational training:
• Painting
• Stitching
• Embroidery
• Jewellery Making
• Warli painting
2) Life skills training:
• Basic Maths
• Spoken English
• Concept of a Business
• Personality development
• Knowledge about India, its cultural and economic diversity
• General knowledge about the world and India’s foreign relations
This is an unpaid course and we need volunteers for the above activities. To volunteer, please contact:
