Donate for Empowering Women through Education & Skill Development
SERUDS (Sai Educational Rural & Urban Development Society) is a women empowerment NGO based in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Since our inception, we have worked tirelessly to uplift underprivileged and disadvantaged women by giving them the tools they need to become financially independent, educated, and confident contributors to society.
We believe that empowering women is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and building stronger communities.
SERUDS Women Development activities aim to empower women so that they can earn their own incomes or become entrepreneurs. We provide sustainable livelihood opportunities through training programs in Computer Software Skills, Tailoring & Embroidery, and Fashion Designing. Additionally, we offer financial support by arranging loans and providing free sewing machines and sewing kits
Women’s Education Programs
Education is the foundation of empowerment. Unfortunately, nearly 40% of adolescent girls in India (aged 15–18) are not in school. SERUDS is committed to changing this statistic through initiatives that support girls’ education, health, and well-being.
Our initiatives include:
Sponsoring education of girls from underprivileged backgrounds
Providing free school kits including books, uniforms, stationery
Conducting awareness programs on reproductive health, maternal & newborn care
Distributing free sanitary pads to ensure school attendance and hygiene
💻 Computer Skills Training for Women
Digital literacy is a gateway to better job opportunities. SERUDS offers computer training as part of its livelihood programs for educated, unemployed youth and women in Kurnool and surrounding districts.
Each year, we select 50 underprivileged youth for a 6-month professional computer course that includes MS Office, internet usage, and job readiness skills.
Since 2006, over 1,000 youth have been trained, with:
- 600+ gaining employment
- 100+ starting small businesses through bank-supported loans
Support Options:
- 1-month training for one person: ₹1,500
- 6-month comprehensive training: ₹7,000
Fashion Designing Training
SERUDS runs a 6-month fashion designing course for aspiring women entrepreneurs. Each batch trains 20 women in stitching, fabric cutting, zari work, and dressmaking skills.
To date, over 200 women have completed the course, with many going on to open their own tailoring shops and boutiques.
Tailoring & Embroidery Training
We provide 3-month tailoring & embroidery training programs every quarter. After training, each woman receives a branded sewing machine and complete tool kit to kickstart her own micro-business.
We also assist women in:
- Setting up home-based production units
