Aalamba Skill Development & Livelihood Support Program
Through this program, 30 young women from rural, vulnerable and marginalised contexts will be trained through an experiential internship in creating and selling handcrafted products using natural and upcycled materials. The project will be based in Karnataka, however, participants from other parts of the country are also invited to attend.
The training will be done by experienced resource persons. The training content and modules will be designed and developed keeping in mind the deliverables and outputs of the training. The training methodology will largely be practical, experiential and hands-on, except for sessions with respect to understanding the basics of marketing the products made. These would include, pricing, packaging, quality parameters, customer profile, inventory and stock management and marketing strategies.

Headstreams works with children, adolescents yout,h and women from under-resourced communities on improving their learning and livelihood outcomes. The vision of the organization is a world where every person has opportunities to realise their inherent potential to live a positive, confident, purposeful and socially productive life. This is achieved through programmes promoting opportunities for participants to explore, experiment, experience and enhance their capabilities in an environment that fosters security, empathy and freedom through creative means and healthy social interactions. Started in 2008, Headstreams has implemented field programs that have impacted over 15,000 children by creating play-based learning spaces in under-resourced and low income communities; empowered over 1,000 marginalised youth through employability and life-skills training; trained over 1,000 women across 52 low-income Self Help Groups (SHGs) to become entrepreneurs, and equipped more than 250 government school teachers to become empathetic, impactful teachers.
