Seva Sahayog Foundation helps women to earn a livelihood
Pune, March 8, 2021: Seva Sahayog Foundation, a charitable organization undertook a unique concept to honour women on the occasion of International Women’s Day. The foundation under its Women Empowerment Program trained women who lost their jobs during the Corona pandemic to earn a living through various means.

Under the initiative, exhibitions of jute bags, cloth bags, purses and other food items had been set up at about 50 prime locations in Pune between March 5 and 8 in which about 50 women and volunteers from various parts of the city participated to sell their items.
