Aide Et Action India

Advocating for lifelong learning and vocational training remains crucial in empowering marginalized communities. By fostering resilience-building among the underprivileged, a strong foundation for sustainable livelihoods is established. This initiative equips individuals with a diverse range of skills, helping them overcome various challenges. The focus on continuous learning ensures adaptability in an ever-changing global environment. Through this effort, marginalized communities are given opportunities for autonomy, leading to lasting, positive changes in their lives.

Promoting women's financial independence, the foundation focuses on three key areas with women’s groups: Microfinance, Vocational Training, and Entrepreneurial Support. Through Self Help Groups, women undergo vocational training programs, which help foster entrepreneurship or employment opportunities. The Janasri Bima Yojana provides insurance coverage to these groups, benefiting a total of 3,562 individuals. The initiative has established 4,200 Self Help Groups across Chennai and Virudhunagar, comprising 60,000 women. Emphasizing savings, the groups collectively contribute over INR 0.15 million in monthly savings, with total credit availed amounting to INR 35 million in the previous year. Additionally, the foundation facilitates educational loans for the children of its members.
