Etasha
Society
Delhi, India
High cost of living puts pressure on many married women to seek
employment. However, due to a lack of marketable skills, they
often end up in low-paying jobs, such as house help or low-skilled
factory work. This perpetuates a cycle of low income and low self-esteem,
which affects their standing within both their families and society.
ETASHA Society is dedicated to promoting gender equality and empowering
women from underprivileged communities. We support women between
the ages of 35 and 65 in becoming socially and financially self-reliant,
whether as individuals or as group entrepreneurs. Our programs
are tailored to the specific needs of women from disadvantaged
backgrounds, with the ultimate goal of fostering their social
and financial independence.

Protsahan
Life Skills Training Through Creative Arts & Technology
Girls across India seek skills that will make them employable.
Yet gender-based discrimination and limiting stereotypes keep
many girls from living their dreams. Particularly in skills development
for successful transition to employability, adolescent girls are
lagging far behind. This exclusion limits girls’ opportunities,
threatens their successful transition to adulthood, adversely
impacts their long-term health and well-being, and robs the world
of their potential contributions. Investment in skills-building
initiatives is one critical pathway to building girls’ and young
women’s self-confidence and resilience, increasing their access
to opportunities, ensuring their equal participation in the labor
force, and promoting their empowerment.
