Citta Education Foundation India

In rural Jaisalmer, girls confront severe social, economic, and geographical barriers to education, amidst prevalent issues such as female infanticide and child marriage. The GYAAN Center, a three-phase educational initiative spearheaded by CITTA India, endeavors to address these challenges by providing girls and women with the tools necessary for economic independence and autonomy. Over the span of a decade, CITTA India has garnered international support to establish the GYAAN Center, aiming to not only uplift local communities but also draw global attention to the imperative of women's empowerment in this region. Through educational initiatives and a celebration of cultural heritage, the center seeks to combat harmful practices and foster gender equality and prosperity in Indian society.

The Women’s Cooperative is dedicated to fostering economic empowerment among the women of Jaisalmer by offering comprehensive support, including skill training, financial literacy, and digital education. Through these initiatives, women are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to produce high-quality local handicrafts with commercial viability. This cooperative serves as a vital platform for women to enhance their livelihoods, achieve financial independence, and contribute to the economic growth of their communities.
