Women Empowerment program, a breeze of hope

Background:

Chakali Sindhu’s traditional background and conservative upbringing only strengthened her determination to break free from her constraints and create a better life for herself and her family. In her relentless pursuit of independence and a fulfilling career path, Sindhu stumbled upon the 100 Days Later Initiative, a skill development initiative of 100 Days Later Foundation and Cyient Foundation.

Intrigued by the opportunities it presented, Sindhu convinced her family to allow her to enrol in the General Duty Assistant (GDA) course. The GDA course is designed to build proficiency in a wide range of healthcare support tasks, from assisting nurses and performing procedures to tending to patients’ needs and creating a comfortable environment for them. The course curriculum covers crucial aspects of day-to-day healthcare responsibilities, such as patient bathing, grooming, meal support, infection control, and accurate measurement of vital signs.

Candidates are also trained in relevant soft skills such as teamwork and communication. Sindhu soon found herself in a novel environment, surrounded by students much younger than her. The emphasis on personality development, work preparedness, and grooming also resonated deeply with her. Through the 100 Days Later Initiative offered General Duty Assistance (GDA) course, Sindhu not only found a career path but also gained the necessary skills to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients under her care.

Upon completing the GDA course with flying colours, Sindhu successfully secured a job as a Patient Care Assistant at Medicover Hospitals. Her family is proud of her decision to pursue a career and now supports her at every step of the way.
