“ఆరు నెలల తర్వాత రండి.”
ఇది చాలా మంది మొదటి సారి వ్యాపారం ప్రారంభించాలనుకునే మహిళలు — ముఖ్యంగా వికలాంగ మహిళలు — బ్యాంకులకు వెళ్తే వినే మాట.

కానీ డబ్బు లేకుండా ఆరు నెలలు వ్యాపారం ఎలా మొదలు పెడతారు?

“Come back after six months.”

That’s what many first-generation women entrepreneurs — especially women with disabilities — hear when they approach banks for their first loan.

Last week, 32 women — including women with disabilities and women from urban slum communities — completed our entrepreneurship training at Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need.
They built business plans.
They calculated costs.
They identified customers.
Several are ready to begin.

Yet access to first capital often depends on proof of revenue.

Without capital, there is no first month.

Without the first month, there is no business history.

To bridge this gap, Sayodhya is providing small seed grants to help women purchase a sewing machine, a pushcart, initial grocery stock, or basic tailoring equipment — and begin operations.

If we train first-generation entrepreneurs, shouldn’t we also design financial systems that let them start?

If you would like to support one woman’s first step into entrepreneurship, please message us.

Inclusion must extend beyond training — into the first transaction.

Special thanks to Akshara Livelihoods - Livelihoods Portal for facilitating the training.

Water—When we at Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need first started working in Salveedu, the Chenchu community members shared their most important problems—Water for irrigation and water for drinking—After over 1 year of hard work and advocacy, we can only express what we feel by looking at the water coming out of one of the 12 borewells being dug right now. Farmers from our Joint Liability Groups (JLBs) are going to use these borewells collectively for greener pastures literally. Thank you to the government groundwater department, local officials, and the district collector in particular for facilitating these borewells and fulfilling the dreams of these people.

Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need's tuition children in the Tulsiramnagar Government Primary School had a beautiful start to the holiday season thanks to the team from who visited on 23rd December 2025. They played games, distributed gifts to all the children, enfaged with them, facilitated an art and craft workshop with the help of our dear volunteer and of course cut cake and created some holiday cheer with them. The children absolutely loved the whole experience—and this will surely be a magical memory that they will cherish for a long time to come.

Our gratitude to Team Stratus, specially Vadaga for putting so much thought into this.

Thank you Gland Pharma Limited for supporting our slum education project!

Saturday, 20th December 2025, was a day of excitement and cycling in the cool winter sun for the girl students of Government High School, Azampura No.1, Amberpet.
With the support of Ms. Kavita Prasad, Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need facilitated 20 bicycles for Class 9 and Class 10 girl students of the school.

What made the day even more special was the presence of Telangana Vidya Commission Chairman, Shri Akunuri Murali (Retd. IAS) who personally distributed the bicycles and motivated the students by sharing his own journey of studying in a government school and excelling academically. He emphasized the importance of determination, critical thinking, and discipline in achieving success in life.

Our initiative of providing bicycles aims to increase the attendance of girl children in government schools. This is part of our slum education project in Amberpet, supported by Gland Pharma Limited. It may be a drop in the ocean—but a fruitful one, we hope.

In a country like India, where business runs in our veins, why should women stay behind?

Sayodhya - Home for Women in Need facilitated an entrepreneurship training program last Saturday for 28 women from the slums of Amberpet.

The session was conducted by Venkat and Aravind from Team Akshara Livelihoods. It was so incredible to see every participant taking part in all the role plays and activities with true gusto and enthusiasm.

This training is part of Sayodhya’s mandate to facilitate entrepreneurship among women from underserved communities and to support them with seed funding — helping them take their dreams a little further!
