At Debora Foundation India, we believe that the skill training provided to young girls has a transformative impact on their lives. The training not only gives them the chance to become self-employed and generate income from home but also helps them break free from the cycle of poverty and dependence. By learning practical skills such as tailoring, embroidery, or digital literacy, these girls are empowered to earn a living without needing to migrate or work outside the home, giving them greater autonomy and financial security. Beyond the economic benefits, the program also addresses critical social issues, including early marriage. In many communities, girls are often married off at a young age due to cultural practices, lack of education, and financial constraints. By providing girls with the skills and confidence to become financially independent, the foundation helps delay early marriage, offering them a chance to continue their education, pursue career opportunities, and make choices about their futures on their own terms.

Through skill training, Debora Foundation India is not only equipping girls with practical tools for financial empowerment but also empowering them to challenge societal norms and build lives of dignity, independence, and opportunity. This dual impact—improving their economic well-being while fostering personal freedom—sets them on a path to long-term success, both as individuals and as active contributors to their communities. Over the past five years, more than 213 girls who have successfully completed our vocational courses are now self-employed and earn a daily income, transforming their lives and contributing to their families’ financial stability.
