Many students who have successfully passed their intermediate and having good ranks in common entrance examinations for graduate courses are either dropping out of studies completely or opting for lower ranking colleges, just because of financial constraints, especially the girl students. This severely impacts their future prospects in terms of quality education and subsequent career.

The goal of this program is to support meritorious but financial constrained students with monetary and mentoring support for higher studies, and help them to achieve their dreams.

Career Saathi Program is a well-defined and structured 6 year program for students from their intermediate till completion of degree providing scholarship, career counselling and mentorship program. It is aligned to SDG 4, 5 and 10.

Vision: Every woman to have an equal opportunity to lead an empowered life through income generation, skill building and confidence building.

Project AVANTI (Women Skill Development Program) was developed in 2010 with an aim to provide skills and build confidence of women from economically weaker families, thereby leading to their economic and social independence. Having a vision for holistic advancement of a woman, AVANTI has prepared an integrated approach for support through ‘TRAIN – TRANSFORM – TRIUMPH’:

- TRAIN : Train women on various market-oriented courses
- TRANSFORM : Conduct life-skills workshops on multiple aspects along the lines of social, personality and career orientation like financial literacy, health & hygiene, child care etc.
- TRIUMPH : Hand holding women during job placement and market linkages and support them post training as well with periodic review.

The Impact Hiring Program is a visionary initiative aimed at providing unemployed youth from underprivileged and economically weaker sections with opportunities to secure their dream jobs.

the program takes a transformative approach, particularly empowering marginalized communities such as women, persons with disabilities (PwD), LGBTQ+ individuals, and economically disadvantaged individuals. The program establishes Hiring Hubs, which serve as platforms to connect skilled youth with potential employers. By offering guidance, support, and access to the job market, the program seeks to foster economic and social empowerment among the beneficiaries.

The Impact Hiring Program's ultimate goal is to positively impact the lives of 8000 underprivileged individuals across India, contributing to the country's youth employment landscape and promoting inclusivity and diversity. The program's implementation spans six locations in India.

At HOPE IN A CUP, we are driven by a mission to foster inclusivity and provide employment opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community. We believe in the power of diversity, and through our cafe, we strive to create a space where individuals from all walks of life feel embraced and celebrated.

This program equips the community members with the tools and resources to not only run a successful cafe but also make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we touch.
