The Functional Literacy Programme (FLP) is designed to support homeless persons with psychosocial disabilities in learning/relearning pre-vocational skills needed for day-today living- the 3 Rs, money management, communication, travelling through public transportation and the like. The programme boosts clients’ self-confidence and helps them develop a positive self-image. This contributes to their overall well-being and possibly opens up avenues for future employment for them.

For the first time, 8 women from the women’s shelter went on a trip to Shantiniketan, West Bengal. They were able to partly finance this trip through the money they earned by engaging in the livelihood opportunities available. This experience motivated them to plan budgets for a trip, spend their money according to their choice and make memories of a lifetime!
The functional literacy classes are designed to equip clients with the basic skills of money management and budgeting, which is an important aspect of daily living. The residents of our women’s shelter exhibited these skills on their holiday.
