A 3 storey building rises in the middle of the Ambojwadi slums, in the far flung suburbs of Mumbai
A 3 storey building rises in the middle of the Ambojwadi slums, in the far flung suburbs of Mumbai. It will serve as an institution, offering a multitude of courses to destitute women, including sewing, embroidery, computer training, self grooming, cooking among several others.
It is one the most significant projects undertaken by Mrs Raziya Chashmawala for the furtherance of women empowerment in India.
The foundation of the structure was laid several months ago, courtesy the magnanimity of Mr. Solly Noor – former President of the World Memon Organisation. The Solly and Zohra Noor foundation has empowered thousands of women across the globe and their name will sit atop the institution. They have once again placed their faith in Raziya Chashmawala, the perfect epitome of strong women empowering other women.
Another gentleman who has played a significant role in funding this important project is Mr. Ameen Bhaila, the Regional Secretary General of the Far East Chapter. Despite the economic upheaval witnessed in Sri Lanka, the Memons of this tropical isle have stood firm with their neighbours.
And then we have the exceptional Ehsan Gadawala, Regional President of WMO North India Chapter who has been the strongest pillar of support for the ladies wing. He has been on the forefront of women empowerment in India.
They say behind every successful man, there stands a woman. The institution will be testament that three distinguished men stood behind the success of many a women who will create brighter futures for themselves by cultivating special skill sets at the upcoming Solly and Zohra Noor industrial and training centre.
