  These jewelries are made by teen-age mothers residing at Ma-Sevana, a residential care facility of Sarvodaya Suwasetha.

With the support of Emerge, a project of young MIT student, these jewelries provide direct income, autonomy, and empowerment to the girls.


  Ma-Sevana provides care for teenage mothers who are victims of sexual abuse and rape. Most of the time these young girls are victimized by their immediate family members. Ma-Sevana houses girls as young as 12 years of age and their babies, offering residential care and protection. These young mothers are given trauma counseling and meditation courses by professional counselors. They are empowered by giving vocational skill training in dress making, handicrafts, bakery, gardening and cookery as well as non-formal education.
