The aim to digitally empower people in their communities, and beyond, means that our centre coordinators, trainers and sometimes even our beneficiaries have to continuously make people aware of how their needs and issues can be solved if they had access to the right information. Recently, the CIRC Halduchuar team — which included the coordinator, trainer, volunteers and even some beneficiaries from the centre — went around the community to understand the needs of its people, make them aware about the benefits of digital literacy, and how they could access it at CIRC Halduchaur.
Meanwhile, CIRC Nichlagarh organised a meeting for the women of the community, where they could openly discuss their problems with each other, and become pillars of support for one another in finding possible solutions. This particular meeting focused on men dealing with alcohol abuse and its effects on women, especially in the form of domestic violence. Women shared their stories with each other and discussed what one can do in such situations.
