Work From Home Option: Employment for Young Mothers
The ultimate goal of many young women is to get married, have children and become a vital part of their home village, wider family and community. To meet the ever-changing needs of the women we employ, Ruhamah Designs has launched a work from home option. In operation since January 2014, the program appears to be successful. The program is ideal for young women who have been a part of the workshop for many years and are now in situations where they cannot physically be in the workshop premises. The artisans involved visit the workshop once a month to receive production expectations, the design, and the materials. All are carefully counted, documented and dispersed to the young women. A month later they return with the finished products and receive their wages based on quality and number of products.
Rebecca (Karishma), Asha (of Horse and Rider), and Reha (Ooty aftercare from 2006-2008) all have new circumstances that have significantly changed their lives. Rebecca moved to Sangli with her husband and recently had a baby girl. Asha has a baby girl and Reha is well advanced in HIV and has two young children. All of these women are highly skilled artisans and have worked with Ruhamah for several years. All of thse women want to continue to work for Ruhamah Designs.
This is a program we believe will grow exponentially as these young women enter their final stages of rehabilitation and return to normal life and normal community. Ruhamah Designs ensures that as long as they work with quality and excellence, they can continue to be employed. We expect many young women from West Bengal to eventually avail of the program since their home villages are remote and long distances from the production unit. Ultimately the success of the program will depend on good training, management, deep trust and a relationship with Freedom Firm staff.
