New Delhi, Aug 29: As part of its ongoing mission to empower women through education and access to essential services, The Women Education & Empowerment Trust (TWEET) took a notable step by organizing a specialized camp at its Mahila Help Desk in Kanchan Kunj here today. The camp was carefully crafted to help women navigate and understand various welfare schemes provided by both government and non-governmental organizations. This initiative was focused on empowering women by making crucial resources more accessible and ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve. Through this vital support, TWEET aims to positively impact the lives of women in the community, helping them to overcome obstacles and enhance their quality of life.
A total of 15 women, who needed assistance, attended the camp. The participants were guided through the intricacies of several important welfare schemes. TWEET volunteers, Muskan and Zuhra, played a crucial role in the event, offering personalized guidance and support to each attendee. They were joined by Faizan from Nagarik Vikas Kendra (NVK), who provided additional expertise and assistance.
Among the key schemes discussed were the Delhi Ladli Scheme, which is designed to support the education of girl children, the Widow Pension Scheme, and the Old Age Pension Scheme. These schemes are vital for providing financial support to women in vulnerable situations, and the camp ensured that the attendees understood how to apply for and benefit from them.
In addition to explaining these schemes, the volunteers also addressed common issues related to documentation. Many women face challenges due to incomplete or incorrect documentation, which can hinder their ability to access welfare benefits. The volunteers offered detailed guidance on how to rectify these issues, including where to go and what steps to take to correct their documentation.
