Home  /  Programs  /  HunarGah Skills Centers

HunarGah centers teach women practical skills so they can earn a living, start their own small businesses and support their families for years to come. By attending, women invest in their own future and in their children's future.

Today Sarwar Foundation runs 70 HunarGah centers. More than 35,000 lives have been changed through the program, including 8,384 in 2026 alone.

Many centers also offer free schooling to the children of enrolled students. Training centers are set up in schools and community centers so that they are easy to reach for women in the surrounding areas.
