Gupta Family Transforms Village with Free Skills Training
In a small village called Kolia, a family named Gupta turned an old maternity hospital into a place where women can learn new skills.
They teach women how to sew and use computers so they can earn money.
The family also helps with healthcare, like eye surgeries and giving artificial limbs.
More than 1,000 women have learned to sew, and over 600 children have learned about computers.
The family pays for everything and wants to help even more women in the future.
This makes the women feel proud and helps their families.
The Gupta family converted a struggling maternity hospital into a skill development center in Kolia, India.
The center offers free training in tailoring, stitching, computers, and beauty parlour skills to rural women.
Over 1,000 women have completed tailoring courses, and 600+ children have learned computer literacy.
The foundation provides free healthcare services, including cataract surgeries and artificial limbs.
The family-funded initiative aims to train 500 women every quarter and expand their earnings through stronger accounting and computer skills.
