Boost to confidence

After rehabilitation of these boys by way of training and regular counselling they are now filled with confidence to start with confidence to start this ice cream parlour along with chaats and juice. 

The objective of this project is to make these youth self-reliant. The profits of this business will be used for improving the youth’s welfare programmes. The surplus funds will be ploughed back into their own business for expanding the projects on a larger scale by opening other outlets in various parts of the City.
