Christmas Celebration in Hyderabad

Three quarters of the Indian project year will soon have passed and Usthi’s project partner in Hyderabad celebrated Christmas like every year.

The successful expansion of joint projects is a reason to celebrate. The expansion of women’s homes and vocational training opportunities has given many young people the chance to lead a self-determined and dignified life. In addition, the tuition centres and the back-to-school programme were successfully continued. Both projects enable children and young people to successfully complete their basic school education.

Usthi is very happy to give many young people better perspectives for the future together with its partner in Hyderabad. This is only possible because of generous contributions from private donors and institutions. Thank you very much!

We wish you and your families festive holidays and all the best for the New Year.
