In January 2020, Usthi beneficiaries complete vocational trainings and pupils win school awards.

On 17 January 2020, 272 young men and women received their certificate of vocational training courses in Hyderabad. After completion of their of the computer, tailoring, beautician, electrical and welding courses, almost all graduates find a job with fair pay immediately after graduation. Since the start of the project in 2008, Usthi and its partners have established a good network in Hyderabad and our skills training have an excellent reputation. Thus, companies meet all our graduates and recruit directly from our campus.

We are proud that a young girl from the discriminated indigenous group “Banjara”, who is a Usthi Back-to-School beneficiary, has been awarded as the best student of the year in her school. After the death of her father, the mother had difficulties to cover basic livelihood costs and could no longer pay the school fees. With the support of Usthi, the young girl could go back to school and achieved excellent academic and extracurricular results.

Usthi wishes skill training graduates all the best for the future and looks forward sharing more successful stories throughout the year.
