Working Women’s Hostel (WWH).

Under the Scheme of financial assistance to voluntary organisation the Department of Women and Child Development (DWCD) provides assistance in the form of grants-in-aid for construction of hostel building for workingwomen. The objective of the scheme is to provide safe and economical hostel accommodation to employment women living out of their homes. In Meghalaya three NGOs viz. Young Women Christian Association, Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Synod Shillong and Garo Baptist Convention Tura were funded by DWCD. The Young Women Christian Association and Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Synod Shillong had accommodated 54 workingwomen and 84 respectively. However, the construction work at Tura is under progress.
