Women participating in a Trust community programme

Focus areas

Three fronts of Nari Shakti

Health

Care that reaches her

Free screening, surgery and post-operative care for women in rural, tribal and underserved communities.

Social security

Families freed from debt

Free marriages that protect family savings and relieve parents of daughters from lifelong financial worry.

Everyday dignity

Equal respect for all

Nutritious meals, respectful service and equal treatment for every woman, regardless of background.

“When a daughter is married with dignity and a mother is fed with respect, an entire family stands taller.”

The spirit of Nari Shakti Seva

Stand with the women of Vidarbha

Sponsor a bride’s new beginning, a sight-restoring surgery, or a week of meals for mothers keeping vigil at the hospital.
