The Sambhali Trust Empowerment Centres in Jodhpur provide underprivileged women with the opportunity to obtain a basic education. Subjects taught include Hindi and English.
In patriarchal Rajasthan, educating women is not deemed to be of any value. Many are denied the chance to study – the literacy rate of women in this part of India is only around 52%. As such, women are trapped in a cycle of poverty, facing discrimination and violence, and lacking the freedoms that we take for granted.
The women who attend Sambhali are eager to learn, focused, and proud of their accomplishments – gaining confidence and building self-esteem.
