Support our Surbhi Girls in Realising their Dreams

Through Project Surbhi, we aim to sustainably empower rural adolescent girls by focusing on health, hygiene, nutrition, self-defense training, and skill development in the wake of COVID-19. We believe that a comprehensive approach will enable these girls to realize their potential, thereby transforming the grassroots economic paradigm and achieving true girl child empowerment. Our modules are crafted by subject matter experts, leveraging design thinking, extensive experience, and on-ground insights.

Our pilot batch began with 40 adolescent girls from Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, and successfully concluded in July 2021. This initial cohort participated in skill development workshops on computer training, stitching, and food processing. Additionally, the girls received 16 hours of intensive training in Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art for self-defense. Special emphasis was placed on expressionism and mental health. You can view our impact report here. Our second batch is currently underway in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh.

We believe education is a cornerstone of a dignified life. We extend scholarships to aspiring students in rural areas and provide books to students from economically and socially weaker sections. We are also establishing digital and traditional libraries to promote reading and learning at the grassroots level.

We have launched a brand, Chaukdi, to market products made by our Surbhi girls and their female family members. A portion of Chaukdi's profits will be reinvested into Project Surbhi, ensuring it remains a sustainable social intervention.

In November 2024, we will start three new batches in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh with renewed enthusiasm and experiential learning. We plan to introduce new skills to the program. We cannot do this alone and need your support to help these 40 girls achieve their dreams. #ThankYouBecauseOfYou
