Sanwara fights all odds to stand out
Sanwara is a 24-year-old, physically challenged young boy. Despite being dysfunctional from both his legs, he wished to do something in his life. After completing his 8th standard, he joined RMKM in a hope to learn a skill which can make him earn his livelihood.
Not sure from where to start, RMKM helped Sanwara to choose a Wooden Unit which required him to use only his hands. Slowly, he became an adept carpenter and started doing everything confidently in the Wooden Unit. Now he makes beautiful wooden products with carefully crafted designs. Besides, he can also make different types of TLMs, wooden lamps, coaster box, pen stand, photo frame etc.
Owing to his determination, he not only learnt the art himself but also progressed to teach the same to others. Now at the unit, Sanwara is a master Vocational Trainer, where he trains other specially abled children and adults. He also uses different methods and tools of training like jigsaw machine, different types of cutters, drill machine etc.
Your donation will help to run these vocational units for specially abled youth like Sanwara. You can donate with confidence because every program on our platform is GIVEASSURED.
