Women in Sustainable Employment

On World Youth Skills Day 2025, DLF Foundation, in partnership with Visan Foundation, launched Project WISE - Women in Sustainable Employment, dedicated to skill-development and employment support for women from low-income families.

Through WISE, women are being offered skill training in three courses: Guest Service Associate (Food & Beverage), Guest Service Associate (Housekeeping), and General Duty Assistant Trainee (Healthcare) at the learning centre in Gurugram. These courses aim to bridge the employment gap through industry-relevant, certified programmes over a period of 2 to 2.5 months of classroom training, recognised by the Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council, Healthcare Sector Skill Council, and National Skill Development Corporation.

WISE recognises that when a woman is empowered to earn and grow, the impact extends not just to her but to the entire community. This initiative is a collective investment into a future where women lead the way in building resilient, self-sufficient communities.

DLF Foundation Suvidha Kendra
to provide Community Welfare Services

DLF Foundation, in partnership with Haqdarshak, continued implementing the Suvidha Kendra Project to improve access to government welfare schemes for underserved communities in Gurugram. The initiative tackled barriers such as limited awareness, documentation challenges, and restricted digital access that often prevent vulnerable populations from obtaining essential services and benefits.

The Suvidha Kendra served as a support hub, assisting beneficiaries from low-income families in identifying eligible schemes, completing applications, and registration under the schemes. Trained facilitators and on-ground outreach ensured beneficiaries received personalised guidance and support.

Multiple camps were organised across Gurugram to offer direct support to underprivileged individuals. The initiative facilitated access to welfare schemes such as health insurance, pension programmes, social security, and also helped obtain essential identification documents for enrolment. The Suvidha Kendra Project supported 2,729 beneficiaries and facilitated 4,303 applications for government welfare schemes.

Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation Support

DLF Foundation extended support during the floods in Uttarakhand and Punjab in 2025, which caused extensive loss of life, property, and livelihoods. Blocked roads and disrupted communication severely hampered relief efforts in the affected areas, leaving many families homeless and vulnerable. The Foundation organised a relief drive, distributing bedding, cooking utensils, essential rations, and 15,000 kg of animal fodder. This intervention provided vital support and reassurance to affected families during a time of acute distress.

DLF Foundation is supporting the development of a skilling center in Samalkha, Panipat in association with Shri Madhav Jan Sewa Nayas This specialized training center will provide employment linked skilling and training in multiple trades including electrical, plumbing, computers, agriculture and more.

Social Welfare for Inclusive Development

DLF Foundation supports VISHWAS (Vision for Health Welfare and Special Needs), non-profit organization working in the field of disability and inclusive education with the aim to help children from marginalised communities and children with disabilities studying at Vishwas Vidyalaya, Gurugram. As part of this initiative, we have supported the school to create a resource centre with unique teaching methods that are being used for personalized learning interventions for children with disabilities.

Currently, the resource centre caters to the education needs of children with autism, cerebral palsy and other disabilities and is equipped with therapists, special educators and speech therapists. Additionally, the centre also provides free OPD services to children with disabilities from the neighbouring community every Tuesday.

Around 34 children from marginalised communities including 7 children with disabilities have been supported in their education through this initiative.
