A positive difference made by Scott Bader Middle East support in India

Working with Ruchika Social Service Organisation based in India, Scott Bader Dubai began supporting the organisation in 2017 through the Scott Bader Commonwealth.

The ‘Self-Sustainability of Underprivileged Youth through Skill Development Education Program’ was designed to improve the skills and employability of young people living in poverty. The program provides contemporary skills and training with job placement support to give them further opportunities in a competitive job market.

With the well-being of our colleagues, families and communities at the heart of the Scott Bader Commonwealth ethos, driven by our Constitution which is our manifesto of fairness, inclusion and responsibility, we are proud to have supported the program since 2017.

The 2022 group consisted of over 100 women aged 18-35 years covering a number of different trades and skills including cutting and tailoring, industrial sewing machine operations and beauty and wellness.

Below, we are happy to share just some of the many success stories from this development programme.
