Founded in 2019, Samoon Skills is a division of Samoon Foundation, a nonprofit committed to societal welfare. We work to advance education, empower women, raise social and environmental awareness, and provide food assistance to the underserved. Our goal is a better world where everyone enjoys their basic rights.

Samoon Skills is a dream project of our founders, dedicated to empowering rural communities, especially those in remote areas, with the skills needed for self-sufficiency. We offer a range of skill-centric programs, including education, skills development, women’s empowerment, and local arts and crafts training. Our focus is on socioeconomic development and transforming rural lifestyles by educating and training unskilled individuals for self-reliance.

A skill is someone’s capability to do something that comes from learning, training and practising. It is an essential part of one’s life as it decides how a person can shape his or her life with mastery in a particular domain. In urban areas, people get a lot of opportunities to learn something new and upgrade their skills. It is so because there are a plentiful number of mediums through which a person can learn something he or she is interested in. The handy facilities, easy approachability and convenient access to technology help the people residing in urban areas learn and earn for their well-being.

But those living in the rural areas, where even getting the basic necessities of life is a bit challenging, for them learning a new skill is still like a dream today. We, at Samoon Skills, work in these areas so that we can help the needy to fulfil their dreams and live a better life. Many villagers in the Himalayas either don’t have enough knowledge, or skill to earn an income. And, if they have some, they don’t get sufficient resources and opportunities to use their expertise and make a decent living.
