empowHER India is a grassroots nonprofit that has worked for over 30 years to uplift women and adolescent girls in rural Maharashtra. We focus on ensuring access to basic needs, life skills education, and safe environments so that every girl can grow with dignity and confidence.

Our key programs include:
1. SETU: Equips adolescent girls with essential life skills like communication, decision-making, and self-awareness to help them become future-ready.
2. SAPHL: Improves school sanitation by building adolescent-friendly toilets and conducting hygiene education to create clean, safe learning spaces.
3. Education Initiatives: Supports rural children with quality education, academic help, and learning resources to boost confidence and opportunities.

We currently work in Karjat, Pen, Alibaug, and Chh. Sambhajinagar, directly reaching thousands of children and families. Our mission is to build stronger, more equitable communities—one empowered girl at a time.

Appeal

At empowHER, we are dedicated to empowering rural adolescent girls and promoting gender equality through various initiatives, including our Setu program for life skills, SAPHL (Sanitation Access Program for Hygiene Literacy), and education at Rakesh Jain School in Panvel. We firmly believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive, and your support can help us turn this belief into a reality.

How Your Support Will Be Used:

Project DescriptionEven today girls are often denied their right to education, employability and financial independence, which perpetuates gender discrimination and stifles their potential. empowHER India has courageously taken up the cause of empowering girls and ensuring equal access to education through Rakesh Jain Madhyamik Vidyamandir. With humble beginnings, our school started with only a handful of students and 3 classrooms in the year 2000. However, it has grown exponentially over the years, now accommodating 450 students as of 2023. RJMV, education is not limited to textbooks and exams alone. We have embraced a holistic approach, nurturing students' talents in arts, culture, and sports, while also equipping them with vocational skills for employability in the future.
