Snehan always believes that empowering a person to be self-reliance is better and sustainable. We are closely working with homeless people and marginalized women in the community. For the long run they all need means to survive in dignity, for that we run a programe called livelihood activities according to their abilities. For a woman we impart easy hand skills like tailoring, embroidery and screen printing. These skills enables them to make beautiful eco-friendly cotton items such as traditional jhola bags, tote bags, kitchen apron, kitchen towels and others. These products are given to willing unemployed homeless adults to sell in the tourist spots and in the market areas. This simple act generates income for the unemployed homeless, employment for women and support for the organization to meet the basic needs.

Today we have started new shop in the Auroville area. This is our first customer who bought our products with big smile on her face. She is Hama, very found of our simple bag for the daily use.  And moreover our bags are in affordable price range to every person.

Friends our bags eco-friendly, affordable in price and your purchase bring smiles on many deprived individuals.

Today is the world’s Women’s day. We at Snehan tailoring centre celebrated the day in appreciating and honouring our ladies. In Indian families, women play a more responsible role than men. Living with half-nut husbands (not all) raising their offspring is not a joke. We value their role in the families and our director motivated them and gifted them saving pot in encouraging their saving habits for the emergency needs of the families.

After one-year-long famine (mean Covid-19) Snehan, starting its activities one by one. During the pandemic, we were severely affected and lacked for survival but somehow managed and pulled on till date because of loyal friends of Snehan. We are happy to update you, that our Earn-with Dignity project re-started today for two of our homeless beneficiaries. They come in the morning, take Eco-friendly products from the Snehan office, sell on the footpath and earn their income for self-reliance living. They take complete responsibility for the products and support Snehan in these income-generating activities. In coming days more shops on cycle would be around the city in Pondicherry.

Helping and empowering the women’s community is always a vital activity of Snehan. A huge number of families in India live in separation, poverty, and unemployment because of alcohol addiction by men. The women who are completely dependent on their husbands for their survival and their kids are left in wants for every little need. They don’t have a voice in the family, always overpowered and beaten by their husbands. Such kinds of women are selected and trained carefully in income generation activates such as tailoring, embroidery, and screen printing, the neediest ones are giving employment in Snehan income-generating activities, and others are left in independence to earn. Snehan is happy to proclaim that in-spite of great calamity and long lockdowns still, we managed to train 6 women, left them empowered in their family and in the society, especially two girls getting married with skills and self-confidence is great.

Mr. Poopathi, a 60-year-old man got out of his family due to family conflict, he got two sons settled, married, and they got children. He is never wanted nor celebrated in the family; therefore he came out of his family, was living on the street as a homeless person. He started his carrier as a bus conductor in private travels for many years. In one accident he lost his left eye and his job too. This incident made him unwanted and he could not get jobs easily. He had no other choice than to depend on the generosity of the by-passers on the streets. He struggled hard to meet his basic needs, as especially nights are spend fearfully on the streets.  Three years a go, Snehan founder was distributing food on the streets; Poopathi approached him for one pack. Anumuthu looked at him and told him why don’t you go to work? For this food, packs are meant for old and sick persons on street. Then he looked at Anumuthu and said, everyone, thinks I am old and disabled, with this conversation he opened his heart’s cry Snehan. Now, last one-year Mr.Poopathi is working happily with Snehan, his life changed, his appearance changed, and he eats with his earning. At Snehan’s for income-generating activities, he is the main in-charge person. We can see him smiling always and ready to do any work at any time. Snehan is happy to include the neglected and bring meaning to their lives.
