Myna Mahila Foundation (MMF) empowers women to increase their agency by operating Women’s Empowerment Hubs in urban slums across India, providing accessible gender-specific physical and digital spaces for health education, healthcare services, and skill-building economic opportunities. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Suhani Jalota, who holds a PhD and MBA from Stanford University and has been recognised by Forbes 30 Under 30 and Queen Elizabeth II, MMF has received support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Microsoft, data.org, Reliance Foundation, ONGC, BPCL, Garware, Stanford, MIT, and others. Myna has reached over 2 million women so far through on-site clinics, tele-health, sexual and reproductive health education, and community outreach, including treatment for 25,000 women in the last two years alone. Centering women’s agency, Myna fosters financial independence through safe, flexible work opportunities like the “Rani Work” platform while building confidence to speak up. With AI-based WhatsApp chatbots, digital tools, and Stanford-backed research, Myna ensures innovation drives measurable impact. Over the next decade, the vision is to empower 35 million more women with accessible healthcare, dignified employment, and greater autonomy over their own lives.
Appeal
Help us improve the lives of millions of women and girls across India by supporting Myna Mahila Foundation’s campaign to expand access to essential healthcare services, education, and employment for women and girls in urban areas. Through your generous donation, you will directly impact our growing network of Women’s Empowerment Hubs, digital platforms, and skill-building initiatives. Funds raised will be used to:
• Expand “Speak Myna” interactive sessions to educate girls and women about menstrual health, hygiene, and stigma-breaking behaviours.
• Enhance the Myna Health App to deliver tailored health-information videos and tele-health services in vernacular languages, designed for urban slum settings.
• Grow the RANI App and its flexible employment programs to provide digital work and skills training for women.
• Establish additional in-community physical clinics under our Hub model to offer essential medical services and digital-health linkage.
These initiatives empower women and girls with the knowledge, resources, and opportunities they need to lead healthier, more productive lives.
