Hostel Provision for Marginalized Young Girls

CLARA initiated an income generation program through entrepreneur skill for young women aging 14 to 24 years living in the slum areas, belonging to the poor families. The prime objective of the program was to provide short term trainings to these young girls/women for their recognition and uplift in the society, that they may share the financial burden of their families and along with this, they could raise an educated generation in the long run. CLARA believes, that skill is an effective channel to bring up a positive change in the society, and for this a women can play a vital role in its upbringing.

To achieve these objectives, a hostel facility had also been provided to the above mentioned young girls/women. They were brought from the remote areas to stay in the hostel and learn skill. The awareness provided to the young women have paved a path for them to take right decision in life and instead of wandering like a useless tool, now they have become a useful segment of the society, who can effectively work and take their families of the ways of progress.

The story of Rimsha Javed.

Rimsha Javed lived with her family in Francisabad, Shorkot. She was the only sister of 5 brothers. The story took a turn, when her mother married another man. At this is time, Rimsha was studying in class 9th. She became depressed & lonely because she was feeling herself deprived and neglected. Her father was doing a nominal labor. He was hardly earning to run his family. When CLARA visited village 412, they came across this family. After listening their tragic story, CLARA decided to help this family & brought them in CLARA Resource Center.

At present, her father has been granted job as a security guard and Rimsha is studying in class 9th . She is happily studying and also learning tailoring. She shared that she has several dreams to fulfill in her life. Her father is getting salary and is helping her children to grow in education. The family of Rimsha is satisfied at this step taken by CLARA. Thanks to CLARA.
