The Sharon Society also working for the welfare and development of widows women through formation of Self Help Groups (SHGs) and providing various vocational training like stitching, door & floor Mate making, vegetable Vender, idly & dosa butter vender etc. these women Self Help Groups are playing very important role in creating awareness on various sensitive issues like HIV/AIDS and disabilities.
The Project was started in 2015-16 with one-time financial assistant from Rights Sharing Worlds Resources (RSWR) USA. In 2016-17 onwards, Sharon Society of Pondicherry is running independently this project. The main objective of this project is to provide earning resources for destitute women; who are not able to manage their family needs and living low esteem. This year in 2018-19, we had organized 4 days training program on wire basket & other essential household things making for women from community.

During the training program around 25 homemakers participated.
