Creating Sustainable Change
This program has laid the foundation for sustainable change by empowering individuals to become self-reliant and financially independent. This has further resulted in the creation of first-generation entrepreneurs, enabling consistent income generation and fostering financial independence.
Beyond individual transformation, the program has encouraged the creation of role models within these communities, inspiring others to pursue similar paths.
Our Impact Model
The aim is to create a virtuous cycle where skills translate into enterprises, enterprises scale into livelihoods, and livelihoods evolve into empowered communities. ArunaSocial Foundation’s impact model does more than enhance incomes—it lays the groundwork for enduring prosperity driven by women and youth who shape their own futures and those of the generations that follow.

She enrolled in the BET Fashion Designing course, learned tailoring, and soon started a home-based unit, earning Rs. 3,000 to 5,000 per month. Not stopping there, Boby began training five others at home, turning her passion into purpose.

Things changed when she enrolled in the Basic Skills Training (BST) course. The training helped her build communication skills, self-confidence, and a sense of independence. With her family’s support, she began working as a computer teacher in a school, earning Rs. 5,000 monthly. Today, Rabiya contributes to her family’s income and finances her own college education.

Despite having no exposure to Delhi’s wholesale markets, she navigated them confidently to source packaging materials herself.
