Sambhali Trust – An Interview With Govind Rathore – Pt 1

Summary: [Jodhpur, Rajasthan] A couple of kilometres outside the centre of Jodhpur, Govind Rathore and his family run the Durag Niwas homestay, but that’s not their main interest. In 2007 Govind set up the <a href="http://www.sambhali-trust.org" title="Sambhali Trust Official Website" target="_blank">Sambhali Trust</a>, an NGO that helps women from the lowest castes in India escape their lives of hardship and empowers them with the skills necessary to operate their own businesses. Many of these women only speak a local dialect and don’t understand Hindi, so they learn to read, write and speak Hindi and English. They are also taught sewing and farming skills. <br> <a href="http://followtheboat.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_9609.jpg"></a><br>
