The Home Manager project attempts to bridge
the gap between domestic servants and urban households. SAATH provides a
reliable domestic service and presents new opportunities for vulnerable women.
The organization trains women to rigorous standards and then places them
as “Home Managers”. The attendance on the job is guaranteed by the
organization and each Home Manager exhibits regularity, efficiency, and
quality of work. The Home Manager
Project has been remodelled and streamlined. Accordingly, one coordinator
will manage a group of 40 home managers.
