Livelihood Support
Training Today, Leading Tomorrow
We believe that sustainable livelihoods are the cornerstone of empowered communities. Our livelihood projects are designed to uplift underprivileged individuals and families by providing them with the skills, tools, and resources they need to achieve financial independence and improve their quality of life.
Through skill development, entrepreneurship training, and access to opportunities, we aim to create an ecosystem where individuals can unlock their potential and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Skill Development
At Atulya Foundation, we recognise the transformative power of employment in addressing poverty and fostering sustainable development. To combat the challenge of unemployment among youth, we partnered with CAF India to pilot a two 'Skilling and Employment' project in the Delhi NCR region. This initiative was designed to empower unemployed youth with industry-relevant skills and employment opportunities.
Key Highlights of the Project
Creating Opportunities Through Skill Development
Two centres were strategically established in Mayur Vihar Phase 3, New Delhi, and Noida Sector 63 to serve the youth from neighbouring communities and villages, including Khora, Kundali, and Gijhore. These areas were identified for their significant under-employed youth populations.
Skill Training Program
Implemented a 6-month certification course in Banking Correspondence and Credit Processing, designed in alignment with the NSDC (National Skill Development Corporation) curriculum.
Training youth for a brighter future
Over the past two years, 100 young individuals have been equipped with essential banking and financial skills, empowering them for career growth and financial independence.
Empowerment Through Employment
16 young professionals have secured positions in esteemed organisations, including HDFC Bank, Max Life Insurance, Tech Mahindra, BharatPe, and iEnergizer, paving the way for successful careers.
Progressing Through Higher Education
16 participants have opted to further their education, enrolling in programs like Bank PO and SSC preparation, MBA, and advanced banking courses to enhance their career prospects.
These initiatives represent our unwavering commitment to empowering youth by bridging the gap between education, skills, and employment. By providing opportunities for skill development and career advancement, we aim to create a workforce that is confident, capable, and ready to contribute meaningfully to society.
Enterprise Set-Up
Jaitpur Village,Greater Noida
Atulya Foundation has taken a step forward to improve the livelihood of young girls from rural communities. Through a survey conducted by our team, it was identified that a group of 5 young girls possessed the skill of candle-making, which was passed on to them by their mothers.
However, they faced challenges in reaching out to the market, doing market research, identifying demand, procuring raw materials and more. To support these girls, the Foundation provided them with initial financial support and training on how to start and run a business.
As a result, they have been able to generate revenue of INR 2,50,000 through their candle business.
We have also provided them with training & development support along with our partner Gvriksh. These young entrepreneurs got hands-on training relating to: Legal Compliances, Budgeting and Financial Planning, how to approach customers confidently, Branding and Marketing Strategy, Packaging, Canva Design, Chat GPT, Website Designing & Leveraging E-commerce platforms, Cybercrime, self-grooming.
Enterprise Set-Up
Jugasana Kalan Village, Bulandshahr
In Jugasana Kalan, we supported five women from the Nari Shakti Mahila Self-Help Group to set up a candle and diya-making enterprise.
With an initial funding support of ₹1 lakh from Atulya Foundation, these women showcased their skills and determination, achieving a remarkable business turnover of ₹1.50 lakh during a single festive season. This milestone marked their first income, instilling confidence and a sense of achievement.
The success of this initiative has motivated them to pursue financial independence and expand their business further. Atulya Foundation continues to provide mentorship and support, ensuring their entrepreneurial journey thrives.
Atulya Foundation has opened new opportunities for our village. Thanks to their skill programmes, many have secured jobs or started their own businesses. The women from our village, who once struggled to sell their candles, now earn a steady income and are growing their business with Atulya's support.
