Sambhali Trust in March 2013

Happy March to all of you!

Our annual meeting took place yesterday with the trustees, staff, volunteers and our dear advisory board member Mrs. Ramona Saboo of Forty red bangles. It was a good meeting and I am happy to have all of them on the Trust's board.

In February, our project co-ordinator Mrs. Mehta went for a workshop organised by Rajasthan consultancy organisation limited for women nominations to participate in central government sponsored one day workshop on "building awareness among women consultants in India" in Jodhpur. These kind of workshops helped us very much this year for capacity building of the organization. She was glad that she could go and learned a lot.


Our dear facebook audience, we are very thankful to you for accepting the Sambhali Trust page on this social networking site. Please help us by spreading the word by sharing this page on your walls. Once again we want to thank you for taking your time for becoming members of our family and helping empower the dalit women and girls in India.

Setrawa: 

We wanted to inform the community of Setrawa village in the thar desert about the development work our trust was doing for the villagers. We thought of inviting them one afternoon at our women and girls empowerment center. We simply wanted to talk to them over Chai and Parle-G (cookies). We were very touched with the kind response of the community.


We decided to do some more field work in the village we work in and meet the women at their homes to conduct an awareness program. We used visual aid to help teach women basic health and hygiene and talk about conservation of water.

Scholarship Program:

This year we have few students passing schools to attend universities. We are very proud to sponsor them through the help of our sponsors. We need your help to sponsor a few children again this year, these children are poor and cannot afford school. Their mothers and sisters are part of Sambhali Trust's empowerment centers. We want to help them by giving their education for adoption and with your help these vulnerable children can study and have a hope for better risk free future. We will be able to provide pictures and profiles of the individual children you will be helping. Please message us for more details. We hope to hear from you.
