After many hard days of work at the

site, Suman came to learn about

Unitech’s training program. Manju, a

child care work trainer at Unitech,

expressed high opinions of MC and

their positive work with children. Im-

pressed with Suman’s keen interest

and 10th pass qualification, they met

with Unitech’s in-charge. After perfect

attendance and participation in the

training program, even when ill, Su-

man now works for Mobile Creches’

main centre. Her dedicated and lov-

ing spirit makes her a great ally for MC,

and in turn, we can provide her with a

job that she feels good about. She

says, “now [she] can see [her] dreams

getting fulfilled.”

This quarter, we trained 32 Govern-ment Functionaries, 34 local commu-nity women in ECCD, 85 current EECD workers, and 8 MC personnel.

Suman was a simple young woman of only

19 years old when she had to move to a

construction camp in Gurgaon with her hus-

band and 1.5 year old child. Despite loving

her work as a teacher in their village’s

school, her family had to move in search of

better wages to educate their own child.

“I could not have imagined a bet-

ter experience at MC. From be-

ing welcomed by the kid’s smiling

faces yelling “didi” to aiding re-

source mobilization with the MC

headquarters’ team, I have

learned tremendously about social

activism and how a sustainable

and genuine model organization

operates.”
