Vocational Training

Another aspect that DSF has always considered important is
helping the patients with trainings and job placement. When
women have the opportunity to develop their skills, they become
confident and capable of making informed choices and decisions
about their lives. Self-confidence leads to higher participation and
greater social mobility. When women are supported and
empowered, all of the society benefits. This is more so in the case
of acid burn victims. While they are treated, they are also
supported to complete their education and assisted to learn skills
for economic sustainability.

DSF has arranged training of many girls in beauty courses, tailoring,
cooking telecommunication and business management. Some of
them are employed in Depilex Beauty Clinics; the others run small
parlors, tailoring shops and utility stores. Many girls are also working
in hospitals, banks, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications,
restaurants and shopping malls.
