Mi- Shakti - Girls Leadership Program:

 

We firmly believe that if girls receive education and healthcare and are organized, they can build a society based on equality. However, many factors hinder the development of girls in our society, the most significant being the lack of a supportive environment that enables them to organize. The "Mi Shakti" program is designed with girls at its core, helping adolescent girls to unite and organize. Through various initiatives, this program assists them in developing their understanding, skills, and leadership.

"Mi Shakti" not only aids in fostering leadership among girls but also helps create a gender-sensitive environment within their families and communities. This program shifts societal perceptions, empowering girls to voice their opinions within their families and fostering an environment where these opinions are respected.

​

With the support of the "Mi Shakti" program, girls can work collectively on issues that affect them, creating a conducive environment for their development. Through their collective efforts, girls have already brought about improvements in menstrual hygiene management facilities in schools. They are also striving to strengthen the Village Child Protection Committees to prevent child marriages and are advocating for better transportation facilities for education in some areas.

​

Currently, we are working with over 2,000 girls in the Pune and Phaltan regions. In the future, we dream of involving millions of girls in this process to create a society rooted in gender equality.
