CherYsh Empower

CherYsh Empower offers comprehensive training programs to equip rural women with the skills to become proficient educators and entrepreneurs, preparing them economically.

Several programs are dedicated to recognizing the unique skills and talents of rural women. We provide guidance to transform them into viable home-based businesses, empowering women to become self-employed and financially independent. This contributes to the well-being of their families.

Our initiatives create job opportunities and foster economic growth. These efforts enable women to lead more fulfilling lives. Women also contribute to their families’ prosperity through these initiatives. Notably, this program stimulates the local economy.

Educator Program

Shiksha Learning Facilitator and Technology Educator (Teacher) Training – A CherYsh Flagship Program

CherYsh’s Shiksha Programs prioritize developing local women as facilitators, anchoring their communities’ educational needs. Facilitators undergo over 50 in-person sessions and supplementary online training focused on pedagogy, technology, and subject coaching. Modules incorporate interactive activities, songs, and play to create an engaging learning experience.

This approach has transformed over 200+ women into confident educators and master trainers with stable incomes, societal dignity contributing to improved learning outcomes for the rural children they teach.

Skilling Program

CherYsh has established a robust grassroots presence across 50+ villages in Haliyal Taluk, launching the Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) to empower rural women entrepreneurs. This initiative offers comprehensive training in business development, financial literacy, project writing, and marketing strategies. Addressing economic challenges caused by COVID-19 and regional floods, the program supports women eager to contribute financially but lacking the resources or guidance to start businesses.

Through partnerships with organizations such as KLE Tech University, Selco and the Deshpande Foundation, CherYsh equips these women to establish sustainable enterprises. Participants receive two years of continuous mentoring and support to ensure success. Additionally, financial literacy training and market linkage support indirectly benefit over 1000+ women, fostering widespread community impact.

Entrepreneurship Program

CherYsh focuses on identifying the skills and potential of rural women, nurturing them for home-based industries and entrepreneurial ventures. By fostering economic empowerment, the program enhances the standard of living for families and contributes to sustaining the children to stay in education.

Program Highlights

CherYsh collaborated with the Center for Entrepreneurship Development of Karnataka (CEDOK) to deliver entrepreneurship training to 100+ women from rural Haliyal. Participants gained skills in business development, project writing, marketing, and financial management, enabling them to start and sustain their enterprises.

The program’s objectives include:

Fostering economic independence for women.
Supporting community growth through sustainable businesses.
Enhancing financial contributions to households.

By empowering women through skilling and entrepreneurship, CherYsh is building resilient rural communities and promoting rural economic transformation.

What People Say

As the Education Coordinator at the Block Education Office, I’ve collaborated with CherYsh™ for seven years. When CherYsh™ sought English training for their Learning Facilitators, we partnered to launch the Learning Facilitator Training Program. This initiative addressed the education gap and provided valuable employment opportunities for young women in the region.

CherYsh™, a non-governmental organization, has collaborated with Deshpande Pvt. Industrial Training Institute to promote education and skill development. Their partnership has been successful in empowering women in Haliyal district, leading to increased household income and improved education standards in their villages.

I’ve been a Learning Facilitator with Shiksha for six years. After completing my 12th standard, my family didn’t support my dream of continuing education, so I married. Joining CherYsh™ was a life-changing opportunity. I’m grateful for the chance to share knowledge and positively impact the children’s education. When I’m with my students, I’m fully immersed in their learning.
