Hamaara Sapna

Hamaara Sapna We aim to empower these women, via the use of Khadi, by giving them the training and the means to become skilled tailors.

An initiative of the Jamnalal Bajaj Seva Trust, Hamaara Sapna was formed with the intention to empower women of the South Mumbai slums, via the use of Khadi, by giving them the training and the means to become skilled tailors. An initiative of the Jamnalal Bajaj Seva Trust, Hamaara Sapna was formed with the intention of creating a second Indian independence movement, this time amongst the women of

the South Mumbai slums. What makes our initiative unique is its holistic nature and lifecycle: we don’t stop at teaching a skill, we aim to provide a well rounded education to our beneficiaries, giving them a leg up in the marketplace. Additionally, our beneficiaries graduate basic training and are later placed in internships, paired with employment partners and ultimately given the means to become self-reliant entrepreneurs. The Jamnalal Bajaj Seva Trust, established in 1942, is a registered charitable organization created with the objective of encouraging, uplifting and empowering less privileged peoples and their communities, with an emphasis on the overall development of women. Fulfilling these objectives, the Hamaara Sapna Initiative endeavors to uplift female slum residents of South Mumbai, along with their families. The project involves imparting skills training along with a holistic education, internships and hands on experience to foster “a better tomorrow”. Key aspects of the Initiative are:
• To transform the lives of our beneficiaries through the application of “Three Es”: Education, Empowerment and Entrepreneurship
• To foster the aspirations of women
• To implement skill enhancement, livelihood and intervention programs
• To give a platform to conduct small scale enterprise
• To create an effective and valuable change of mindset
• To provide equal opportunity to all

Our beneficiaries range in age from 20-60 and are housewives, domestic staff, vegetable vendors and cooks, amongst a variety of other occupations. The majority of the women are mothers and have undergone only a primary education.

In this May's Summer Workshop of 2024, women and children of all the centres got a taste of Taichi and Qigong. The workshop focussed on making the women and children be aware of the energy that each one possessed and how they could use it to heal themselves and lead healthier lives. It was heartwarming to see children feel energy when their palms 'floated' up and they made qi balls with their hands. Tai chi Quan or Taiji as it is known can be loosely translated into Tai- Supreme. Qi- Energy Quan- Fist and Qi - energy and Gong- Work. Simple and easy movements were shown and carried out which would improve lower extremities mobility, enhance strength and suppleness in fingers and also have healthier organs.
