**Summary**

The Ladli Foundation launched a groundbreaking campaign to create sustainable infrastructure without seeking external financial assistance. This initiative aimed to bridge the digital divide and empower students with the skills needed for future success. Through *Sashakt*, a platform designed to provide students with technical and digital skills, the foundation is helping young minds unlock new opportunities. The campaign highlights the importance of community involvement in achieving these shared goals, creating a nurturing environment for the students' holistic development.

**Challenges**

One of the primary challenges was the lack of access to digital resources in underprivileged communities. The existing infrastructure was insufficient to support students in today’s technology-driven world, leaving many without the tools needed for educational and professional success. Additionally, the widespread digital divide has limited access to learning opportunities, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, further widening the gap between those who can adapt to a digital future and those left behind.

Another significant hurdle was engaging the local community in this initiative. Without community participation, creating lasting impact would be challenging, particularly in terms of maintaining and sustaining the infrastructure built. Financial constraints were also a challenge, as the campaign was determined not to rely on external funding, making it critical to leverage local resources and voluntary support.

**Our Action**

In response to these challenges, the Ladli Foundation initiated the *Sashakt* program, focusing on building infrastructure that supports digital learning and providing students with hands-on training in digital skills. This platform was designed to equip students with practical knowledge that would prepare them for various educational and professional opportunities.

The foundation also sought active community participation, engaging local leaders, volunteers, educators, and parents to help create a sustainable ecosystem for learning. Through workshops, training programs, and collaborative efforts, the Ladli Foundation ensured that students not only gained access to digital tools but also learned how to effectively use them to improve their academic and career prospects. By fostering a sense of shared responsibility within the community, the foundation was able to create a supportive and sustainable learning environment.

**The Impact So Far**

Since its launch, the *Sashakt* initiative has seen tremendous success. Hundreds of students have been trained in digital literacy, and many have reported improved academic performance as a direct result of their newfound skills. The platform has become a beacon of hope for students who previously had no access to such learning opportunities.

The digital infrastructure built through this initiative has not only helped reduce the digital divide but has also brought the community closer together. Parents and community members have played an integral role in supporting students, making the initiative a truly collective effort. As a result, the program is showing signs of long-term sustainability and continues to create lasting impacts on the students' futures.

Enabling with computer education to marginalized student

The Ladli Foundation Trust, in collaboration with the Delhi Police, the National Institute of Social Defense, and the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, has launched Project JOSH. This initiative, part of the Drugs Free India campaign, aims to rescue young boys from substance abuse and crime. Starting on May 1, 2021, Project JOSH focuses on providing hope to boys in Delhi's slums and underdeveloped areas, where substance abuse and criminal activities have surged, particularly at night. Through engaging activities like sports, dance, yoga, and fitness, Project JOSH diverts their focus, promotes physical and mental well-being, and provides intensive training to 1,057 young boys. Additionally, career counseling, motivational sessions, and mental health support play a pivotal role in steering them away from substance abuse and antisocial activities.

**Challenges**

1. Substance abuse and criminal activities among young boys in underprivileged communities pose a significant threat to their future.

2. Ensuring their safety, health, and well-being requires comprehensive diversion and support.

 **Our Action (Utilization of Your Donations)**

1. Physical Activities: We provide sports, dance, yoga, and fitness activities to divert at-risk youth from substance abuse and antisocial behaviors.

2. Nutrition: We offer nutritious diets to support their physical development and overall well-being.

3. Mental Health Support: We conduct orientation, career counseling, and motivational sessions to address the mental health needs of the participants.

 **The Impact So Far**

1. Reduction in Substance Abuse: Through Project JOSH, we have witnessed significant reductions in substance abuse among participants, with volleyball emerging as an especially effective sport.

2. Increase in Education: The project has contributed to a 100% increase in the number of students interested in attending school.

3.Geography : Currently this program is being implemented in 5 districts of Delhi, India.

3.Project Extension : The project is getting more extended this year within 6 more Delhi police station, increasing beneficiaries reach and impact spectrum. 

**Testimonials**

I am Ravi (Name Changed) growing up in the Parvatiya Camp slums, I fell into severe drug abuse by the age of 15. My life felt hopeless, surrounded by crime and addiction. Then, one day, I met a didi (ma'am) from the Ladli Foundation Trust. She sat and talked with me for a long time, introducing me to Project JOSH.

Participating in Project JOSH, an initiative by the Ladli Foundation Trust with the Delhi Police and other partners, turned my life around. They introduced me to sports, dance, yoga, and fitness. Playing volleyball became my escape and motivation. The career counseling and motivational sessions helped me envision a future beyond the bad life of drugs. 

Through this initiative we envision building a force of young minds that can be given a platform to raise above their current detrimental circumstances and build life beneficial for themselves and the society.

Empowering Young Boys to Choose a Drug-Free Path

**illuminate the Lives of Destitute Women by Providing Social Security Through Our Upcoming Mass Wedding Initiative**

**Event Date: - 24th November 2024,**

**Beneficiaries – 51 Vulnerable Slum Women**

**Action:  Facilitation of Mass Wedding Ceremony with the provision for ensuring health, education and skill development.**

We at Ladli Foundation are reaching out with a heartfelt appeal to support an extraordinary mass wedding initiative on 24th November 2024, in New Delhi. This event aims to provide a dignified life to 51 of the most vulnerable destitute women. It transcends mere ceremony—it is a crusade for dignity, security, and empowerment for the most vulnerable women in our society.

**Why This Initiative Matters**

Breaking the Cycle of Exploitation:

Marriage should symbolize love, security, and mutual respect. Unfortunately, for women born into marginalized sections In India, it often becomes a curse, leading to exploitation. Due to delayed marriages, these women are frequently targeted for organized crimes, including forced prostitution, driven by their poverty and illiteracy. Numerous criminal rackets exploit these vulnerabilities. Our previous interventions have exposed these groups and directly benefited over 2100 young girls, providing them with secure lives. Additionally, these efforts have enabled the women to continue their education and skill training, empowering them to become self-reliant.

By organizing mass weddings, we cover all related expenses, lifting the financial burden off the families and ensuring that the brides begin their new lives with dignity and security.

**Ensuring Social Security:**

Empowerment Through Education and Skill Training:

Our initiative is not just about conducting weddings; it’s about empowering these women for a better future. We provide them with opportunities for education and skill training, enabling them to become self-reliant and independent. This holistic approach ensures that these women can break free from the cycle of poverty and exploitation, creating a ripple effect that benefits entire communities.

**Thorough Background Checks:**

To ensure the safety and well-being of the brides, we conduct thorough criminal background checks on the grooms selected by their families. This crucial step helps protect the women from potential risks of trafficking and forced prostitution.

**The Impact So Far**

Our previous interventions have already made a significant impact, benefiting over 2100 young girls by providing them with secure futures, education, and skill training. These efforts have exposed criminal rackets and safeguarded countless women from falling prey to organized crimes. The success of our past initiatives fuels our determination to continue this vital work and expand our reach.

By contributing to our cause, you help us create a more just and equitable society where every woman has the opportunity to lead a life of dignity and security.
