SAPPHO Beauty and Wellness Academy, Sangaiprou Mamang Leikai, in collaboration with The Intersex and Trans Collective (TITC), a support group of queer community organised a free skill development programme on grooming and self-care session for the children and staffers of Aura Home at Patsoi Part-I on Sunday.
The programme aimed at empowering the children of the Home and members of TITC to become self-sufficient and independent individuals was organised to give them hands-on experience in the salon, with the guidance of experienced hairstylists and trainers.
As part of the programme, SAPPHO Academy provided training and practical experience to the children and staffers in hair cutting techniques, styling and grooming.
SAPPHO Academy has also taken the responsibility of providing necessary equipment and tools for the programme, so that the children have access to the best resources to learn and practice their skills.
Additionally, the salon will offer job opportunities to the children who excel in the programme, so that they can apply their skills and earn a decent living.
