A steady paycheck can be a lifeline for the hundreds of millions who do not have it.

In India, most day-wage laborers, housepainters, carpenters, and self-employed small business owners such as tea-stall vendors, vegetable sellers wish for their children to escape the life of financial insecurity they themselves endure.

However, these youth must navigate a challenging job market. They often have little information about the employment process: what different careers entail, the expectations of a professional workplace, etc. Additionally, these youth often need to develop basic communication and computer skills to secure long-term careers.

With the support and tools to develop their skills, disadvantaged youth can hope to become productive and creative, improve their financial security and perhaps even contribute to the greater good.
