Skills Development Centre

The Khushi Skills Development Centre (AKA vocational centre) occupies three floors and provides certified qualifications such as our popular beautician course.

On the top floor, we have a classroom and the second floor comprises a computer room for IT lessons and a library.

Downstairs we have a sewing and crafts workshop. It's here some of our older female students make dolls and make the mediation cushions and yoga mat bags. We then sell these either online or to visitors or local yoga schools. 

We always either use organic materials or recycle such beautiful items as Saris. This way we can help our students can create a sustainable life for themselves and their families and our planet too. 

It’s not just the girls that are involved, we also have mothers participating in the stitching program and beautician programs. It’s here that they make different types of dolls, bags, dresses and items such as scented candles. For each item that is sold, they receive money directly that can support the family. In this way, Khushi tries to create a sustainable income for the families. 

Our beautician course forms an important part of our program. This certified 1-year course that is covers hairdressing, all areas that help them to find work in salons or spas centres or start their own businesses. We also run a naturopathy course and a mobile repairing course. 

This centre hosts our numerous subjects classes including ICT (information and communication technologies) English language for secondary students and conversational English classes for older students.  We also have certified IT courses and accounting courses. 

There are also infrequent workshops on other subjects depending upon the skills of our international volunteers.
