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.
