Social Enterprise Initiatives • Develop micro-entrepreneurship skills amongst the most disadvantaged group of youth • Create opportunities to learn skills and master them to earn a living • As a tool for social reintegration of children from the street • Give and create a platform to explore their vocational knowledge, skills and talents

The Skill, Empowerment and Employment Programme (SEEP) is an initiative of SathSath "Together With Children" for social reintegration of street and street-based children through vocational programmes. SathSath uses an alternative livelihood model for realising children’s social and economic rights. Economically means supporting children in their educational and vocational needs towards a sustainable livelihood.
The SEEP empowers street and street-based working children to employ them for various vocations. Currently, Wheat Stalk Stem Art, Glow Candles, stuffed dolls, briquettes and lokta paper crafts are in production and for sale.
Profits made are rechannelled for SEEP program production and expansion to employ more of its target group and, at the same time, ensure the sustainability of SathSath programs.
77 Street Lamp Enterprises is promoting SEEP, creating opportunities for the most disadvantaged group in our society.
