Our Acheivements
In addition to women empowerment, SAFA also helps children and youth by providing access to quality education and skill training, especially to girls from underprivileged communities and works on the capacity building of beneficiaries across all ages and genders for generating their livelihoods.
Girl Education
For many girls in India, attending school is a distant dream. We have impacted more than 16000 children through projects like Aqriti 1 & 2, Come to Read (CTR), Sitarey (Junior & Senior), and 50 Indians.
Through these projects, we are offering scholarships, tutoring drop-outs and thus mainstreaming them in schools, strengthening School Management Committees (SMCs), and promoting STEM education in government schools.
Capacity Building & Financial Inclusion
SAFA believes in the overall development of an individual and focuses intensively on the capacity building of our beneficiaries regardless of gender and age.
Through Roshni club, Awaaz, and Yuva Josh Club, we capacitate & empower women, youth, and children to generate awareness regarding different topics such as education, health, environment, and other social issues and help bring change in their attitude and thoughts.
Self Help Group (SHG) - GATI Project
SAFA is striving towards women's economic empowerment by collective savings and credit access from the banks for less / no interest rate. SAFA believes that real economic progress will happen through the financial inclusion of women who are 50% population of the country. In the year 2021, SAFA introduced the Self Help Group (SHG) - GATI with the help of UCD (Urban Community Development) and MEPMA (Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas).
The project aims to support small and sustainable ventures and enable the women to come out of the poverty trap and lead lives with hope and dignity. We have reached & engaged 1340 women beneficiaries who are active in savings and loan repayments. The impact through the SROI (social return on investment) is of Rs. 1,13,90,000.
MEDP - Micro Entrepreneurship Development Program
Self-employment is quite capable of addressing the growing unemployment problem and, thus, an effective strategy to mitigate urban poverty. Many are ignorant about the vast potential of self-employment or entrepreneurship opportunities. SAFA initiated the Micro Entrepreneurship Development Program (MEDP) in 2021 with the support of the Tech Mahindra Foundation, which focuses on identifying, assessing and nurturing potential individuals who are interested in doing business. The EDP works from the seed stage to accelerated stage by providing capacity-building.
MEDP has impacted 1352 women by engaging actively in businesses and the SROI ( Social Return On Investment) is Rs. 1,87,08,377.
Skill Development & Livelihood
Women and youth from marginalized sections are provided with vocational training in tailoring & stitching, embroidery, beauty & wellness, and cooking while engaging them in our production units or by supporting in setting up their own businesses.
We also provide skill trainings in Nursing, Information Technology enabled Services (ITES), Advanced ITES, Retail Management, MEDP, etc. Currently, we are working with individuals residing in Vattepally, Darulshifa, Hafeezpet, and Masabtank.
