Armaan Club supports the children of artisans as they grow through their school years. While academic support is central, the program also nurtures broader development often overlooked in schools. Through sports, creative activities, leadership opportunities, and career guidance, children build confidence, teamwork, and life skills while discovering their potential and future possibilities. ✨
Trupti Sahu Daughter of Aarti Sahu, WARE Collective
At 21, Trupti Sahu carries a quiet strength that comes from having figured out, early in life, that no one else would build her future for her. After completing her BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) in 2025, she immediately got a job as a Support Engineer in a cybersecurity company, a field she genuinely enjoys and in which she wants to grow. Even now, after work, she studies and explores new skills, already thinking about a Master’s degree in Cyber Security. Sitting idle has never been her style.
Trupti joined Armaan Club in the 8th standard, and it slowly became more than just an after-school space. It was where she eagerly participated in judo sessions and football games, performed in street plays, watched movies with friends, experimented with art and craft, and went on memorable picnics like the one to Tikuji-ni-Wadi. But beneath the fun, something deeper was happening — she was finding her voice.
She began earning young, first by tutoring and later by working at a veterinary clinic. There, she did everything — sweeping floors, washing utensils, helping with office work, even learning pet care and pet dressing. Nothing felt beneath her. That experience taught her something she holds onto firmly: no work is small when it is honest. Izzat ki kamai matters.
During COVID, while many felt stuck, Trupti learned to make bead bracelets and resin jewelry. What started as curiosity became a small business. She now customizes and sells her creations, combining creativity with independence.
Public speaking, however, did not come easily. She still remembers trembling while presenting a PPT on Indian Women Freedom Fighters at an Armaan Club event. She was shy and terrified of making mistakes. But with steady encouragement from Suvarna didi, she stood her ground and finished. That one presentation loosened the grip of stage fear. Over time, through street plays and group activities, she grew more confident — even stepping in to help conduct sessions when activities felt repetitive.
Today, Trupti describes herself as focused and self-driven. She keeps her circle small, values privacy, and prefers meaningful growth over casual distraction. She sometimes feels sad that her younger brother does not yet understand the value of education.
Armaan Club, she says, didn’t just give her activities — it gave her resilience, confidence, and the belief that she can shape her own future. And that belief continues to guide every step she takes.
