AAHANA aims to help women and children access quality education and guide them toward career pathways. We also provide skill development programs such as desktop publishing, cooking/hospitality, seamstress, and hairdressing classes. Gradually, we plan to collaborate with educational institutions and technical training centers and add programs for professional careers – All ONLINE!
We have a dedicated team in India, including technology professionals, program instructors, and on-the-ground staff. Our team is located in one of the nation’s central IT hubs, Hyderabad. The team concentrates on curriculum development, recruiting instructors, and scheduling. We use cloud-based technology that is readily available. This way, students from various communities join the classes all at the same time. We are using a nationally accredited open schools program, which gives our students a foundational program base, after which they will be eligible to finish High School. This is a groundbreaking opportunity for so many undereducated women and youth in the rural and poverty-stricken areas we serve.
In early January 2022, our on-the-ground technology support team traveled to the communities to set up technology infrastructure, equipment, and training staff. We have set up online support for technical assistance. We now have 7 sites in rural and vulnerable communities, giving hope to over 700 women, youth and children. Our goal is to expand the sites to 15 communities this year.
AAHANA bring transformation through education to some of the most vulnerable women and children, enabling them to aspire for a brighter future.
