Still doing it. Besides, wives of army officers have come together to provide lifestyle training to army wives. We are giving them all the necessary training to make their life beautiful like healthy diet, awareness about life, guidance about mother-child relationship.

Some of the women who received the certificate spoke… “I used to think that I had no skills except housework; I got courage and self-confidence only after coming here.” “During Corona, I was confined to my house for two years. I don’t know what to do next. After coming to this training, I got an idea of what to do next.” “This life training brings out the self-confidence we have. Thank you.”
