About the Organisation: Lighthouse Communities Foundation works in the area of skilling and livelihoods for underserved youth. This is a pioneering program with a strong PPP model, an agency-led approach to livelihoods, and a vision of socio-economic transformation. The Lighthouses are run through a public-private partnership that empowers the Government, Corporates, NGOs and Citizens to work together towards changing lives. The provision of location and capital expenditure for the Lighthouse centers is taken care of by the Government. Corporates contribute through CSR funds to provide operational expenses. NGOs come on board to provide various skilling courses to the youth. With penetration in more than 400 of the 500 odd slum communities of Pune, the program has now expanded to other cities viz. PCMC, Dombivali, Aurangabad and also States viz. Delhi, Odisha, and in Hyderabad. Core Values that drive us: Empathy | Inclusion | Integrity | Courage About the Project: Pimpri-Chinchwad is an industrial township in Pune District, Maharashtra, India. It is known for its automotive, information technology and manufacturing industry. It is one of the fastest growing regions in the country with an estimated population of 23,81,000 and literacy rate of 89%, significantly higher than the national average. The city is strategically located 160 kms from India's financial centre Mumbai, and about 10 kms from one of the country's major Information Technology hubs in Pune. While the presence of industries has been a strong driver for growth in the region, with the geographic boundaries to be further extended due to this growth, the population residing in slum/low-income communities often struggle to reap the benefits of the opportunities available within the city. Given the demographic trend at the national level, estimates place the number of underserved youth in the city at approximately 1.15 lakh. Lighthouse Communities Foundation is launching an innovative and pioneering City Saturation project in partnership with the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). The project aims to provide every single young person from a low-income community in PCMC access to livelihood in the form of information, guidance, foundational and vocational skills, placement, entrepreneurship, and post-placement support. The project will align the aspirations of young people with the industry demand in terms of vacancies for primarily entry-level job roles.
