Community Information Resource Centres are continuing to provide better ways of putting new skills into action for the betterment of everyone along with bringing in a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment as it involves a very active participation within the community.
Community Information Resource Centre (CIRC) has been a hotspot to many entrepreneurial opportunities, especially to women who have made the best use of it in uplifting their lives and helping the people from their villages.
Patel Afroza, a resident of Vorasamini, Bharuch, Gujarat, who belongs to a family where her father works in a car showroom, and her mother is a homemaker. Being the youngest and one of the pampered children in the family, Afroza has never been forced to pursue any particular field of education or career. Despite joining vocational courses like beautician training, she found herself unsatisfied with the field.
However, everything changed when she heard about the SP-CIRC Program from one of her classmates. Intrigued by the program’s potential to enhance her skills and knowledge while also providing her with an opportunity to help her village people, Afroza convinced her parents that joining the program was essential for her better future. She also highlighted the opportunity to earn from home.
During the baseline survey, Afroza received a positive response from her village people, which motivated her to work harder for their betterment. She is grateful to the Jubilant Bharatiya Foundation and Digital Empowerment Foundation for providing her with this opportunity.
