Prathyasha is an initiative envisaging the empowerment of young women graduates from the disadvantaged sections of communities in the State of Kerala. Over the last twenty three years CARING India have been relentlessly working for the upliftment of the marginalized, catering to their needs in manifold ways. The outlook has been simple yet deeply profound as it encircles the motto of ‘care’ in a precise perspective that gives light to the hope (“Prathyasha”) people pray for.
CARING India through the program Prathyasha is aiming to involve approximately 25 students in a batch, thereby owing to train over 150 students a year (one complete cycle). The project is envisaged initially for 3 years and thus empowering 450 girls from remote parts of Kerala.
