Women Empowerment
Women’s Empowerment through Education & self-employment
Create avenues of self-employment for women from the weaker section of the society through various projects during the festive season.
Some of Our Projects
We got cloth bags made under our Sakhi Project, whereby women made the bags and we sold them, helping the women earn income for their families and day-to-day expenses.
We made and sold Utane – an ayurvedic scented powder – during Diwali. The powder was made under the strict supervision of one of our members, who was an Ayurvedic doctor, and was packed by women employees in her factory at Badlapur. This initiative helped women generate income for their families.
We started making different cloth bags, pouches, and useful cloth articles with women who were in need and had good stitching skills. The initiative aimed to provide work opportunities to more women who wanted to stitch and work towards self-empowerment.
We made and sold almost 23 different items, such as corporate pouches, multipurpose pouches, compartment bags, aprons, shoulder bags with zips, Dhanya bags, and sling bags. Through our Sakhi Women Empowerment Project, we helped women generate income.
These items are showcased in various exhibitions held in and around Dombivli, Thane and Mumbai. The citizens are made aware of the objective under which these items are made, and they wholeheartedly purchase these items thereby contributing to the good work of Urjaa.
Through this project we make women financially independent by generating regular income through stitching, which also helps Urjaa to raise the funds which are utilized for different projects.
