More information
We provide computer literacy in the form of information technology and conversational English training to children of women in prostitution ranging from ages 16-20 years. We partner with Indian non-profit organizations and leverage their existing relationships with the prostitute community. Together, we manage and run computer centers and train students in batches of 20. Our course is designed for 6-9 months, depending on the number of hours taught per week at each center. After the students complete our course, they apply for a competitive internship and upon satisfactory completion, they are placed at various IT and BPO firms. Prospective jobs include transcription, data entry and office suite application. Currently, our centers are located in major metropolitan Indian cities including Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad.
