Introduction
Its been a difficult period for all our girls in times of the Pandemic and the ever increasing cases of Covid 19 in the State of Maharashtra.
The Project caters to the support of our girls who have been released by the court and are staying back in the city of Mumbai to explore education, skills and job opportunities
Due to the lockdown most of the schools and colleges have stayed shut, even the girls who went for jobs couldn't go.
Most of the education went online with its challenges of enabling our girls to have a good internet connection, labtops for going online. We have been able to manage overtime.
Attending to health emergencies was also difficult but we are glad the lockdown in Mumbai has eased. We have manageged to be able to prevent any Covid Infection to our girls with all the precautions taken at our Shelter Homes
