Mission/Vision
Women are the key to a thriving future for their family and community.
 
Background
In view of the pitiful situation in which many underprivileged women live in the national capitol region, three professional women decided to launch a charitable trust to encourage needy women to achieve their potential. Thus Protsahan charitable trust was created in 2003 for the empowerment of migrant women, domestic workers, school drop-outs and any other woman with limited educational opportunities. In 2007 Protsahan launched its first Kamalini Vocational Training Centre in the urban village of Shahpur Jat. In 2008, a second centre opened in Kishangarh and in 2010 Protsahan and Educational and Development Initiatives signed a MoU to jointly develop a new Kamalini Vocational Training Centre on the Gurgaon-Sohna Road, for which EDI acquired 5 acres of land. The new Kamalini centre operated by EDI opened in 2017. Since 2007, hundreds of women have gained valuable skills to increase their earning power and take better care of their homes and families.

 Story of Sunita
Sunita has studied up to Grade 8 & did not have any additional skills to take up any occupation and earn for her livelihood. She lived in a small rented room in Kishangarh with her husband and two children (5 and 10 years old). Her husband is an agent for an insurance company and his earning are very less depending on the commissions earned on whatever policies he is able to get done by people. The family faced problems in terms of finances and better education for the children. Sunita joined the Cutting & Tailoring under TECOS at Kamalini Kishangarh centre on April 2012 and gradually found a drastic change in her life within a year. She completed the two levels of the course and had her hands on stitching with nearly perfect finishing. She learnt to interact with people around her and gained self-confidence during these learning days. She started practicing stitching at home from whatever she learnt from Kamalini classes and gave different design patterns to the clothes. After completing the two levels of the course, she started stitching clothes at home and attaining customers who appreciated her work. Her dream of providing a better future to her children seemed to get a shape as her income helped in carrying out her household expenses. She was able to send her children for good quality education. In July 2013, she completed the third level of the course and is giving full time to her tailoring profession.She earns about 6000-7000 per month and claims that her family is now in a better off condition.
 
 Story of Lakshmi Kashyap
Lakshmi is 24 years old & lives in a rented house in ShahpurJat village with her parents and 5 other siblings. Her father does not work and only at times visits his ancestral village for some farming activities and her mother is a housewife. The family thrives on the little earnings of her elder sister who does cutting and tailoring work. Lakshmi received an interview call for a job that demanded basic computer skills, which she was devoid of. On December 2011, she joined Kamalini Basic Computer course for duration of six months where she gained knowledge about computers from its basic. She found the best opportunity with Kamalini as a centre to learn computers as for her it was affordable and was nearest to her house. Along with learning computers, she also learnt various other skills to understand the technology and software to have a basic idea about this field. After completing her course in July 2012, she joined the Child Development Centre at Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi from August as a computer technology part time teacher.
