Women Empowernment

We believe in the empowerment of women and we also think that only with a proper development of women, this country can develop. For the Development of women and their empowerment the Samiti has organized different income gerenation trainings to the women of Mainpuri. Intensive training was given for taking up professions such as basket making, weaving, cutting and tailoring, embroidery, poultry management etc. and loans were provded for staring units.
We strongly believes that women should have equal socio-economic, cultural and political opportunities as men. With this ideology in mind, a successful attempt was made to achieve a 50:50 ratio for both genders at all our formal schools.
While doing research, it was discovered that gender discrimination was rampant in Mewat, a district of Haryana. Not only were the women in the region uneducated and unemployed, but were also given no say in the decision making processes that included them and their family.

 

ENGAGE. EMPOWER. ENRICH.

A five-fold strategy was used to bring about this tremendous change –

• Provide market oriented vocational skill training to women and adolescent girls.
• Commitment to help mothers of children, who are attending educational classes, and involve them in saving, thrift and credit, skill training and income generation activities.
• Integration of adult literacy with skill training and income generation or making literacy a precondition for skill training and income generation activities.
• Development of leadership within the communities and linking them with government and non-government facilities.
• Generation of awareness among common people through involving women from project locations and using IEC materials.
