At DBM we train almost 1800-2000 women every year in various vocational courses. Almost 30-40% out of them are able to get jobs while another 30-40% start their own small enterprises and work from home. Our placement cell helps them find jobs, while our entrepreneur cell helps the latter.
This month in September 2020, we helped 4 such spirited women to start their own enterprises. Two of our tailoring students wanted to start their tailoring unit while the other two who had done Beautician courses with us at DBM had already started their small beauty parlours but were in need of some necessary equipment and consumables to kick start the work. We approached our DBM friend Ms. Ekta Shah who was gracious enough to immediately fund these 4 units through her family trust – BB Shah Trust and helped empower these 4 women to earn their livelihood and also support their families. DBM salutes these women who dream and followed up to fulfill their dreams and we also salute Ms. Ekta Shah and her Trust for always being there to support us.
