Women Empowerment  

Skills and knowledge enhance economic growth & social development of the country, building capacity to effectively respond to challenges and opportunities of globalization. India’s National Skills Policy, 2009, recognizes the need for harnessing skills of the working age group to achieve better inclusion and productivity, increasing employment opportunities that actively contribute to the Nation’s growth.

Indian population consists of a significantly large segment of poor people, 50% of which are women who can play a key role in progress of the country to augment country’s economic wealth.   

Lack of opportunities and social sanction hamper dignified existence for many a women, especially women below poverty level and widows who lost their family’s bread earner. Hence, supporting these socio-economically challenged women and providing them means for better livelihood through skill development assumes great significance. 

Women empowered with vocational, social and personality skills will benefit in terms of better health & higher income, leading to enhanced social status and participation in decision making towards welfare of children and family. 

Empowering one woman benefits four family members on average and affords better health care and education for their children.   

Life Women Empowerment Centre (LWEC) is a unique intervention imparting free vocational training to less privileged women & widows in skills leading to self-reliance, social respect and support to their families, generating self-confidence, improved medical care and better education for children. Free trade kits, equipment and market linkage are provided to pave the way to productive employment. The programme also covers supplementary training in self-defense, gender equality, budgeting, banking and finance for self-sufficiency and personality development, leading to holistic empowerment. 

Women’s limited access to resources & means, lower education, social constraints and fewer opportunities limit their productivity and potential. The Women Empowerment Programme is designed to address this social void.     

11,000 women have been empowered by end 2023 creating exemplary stories of many a successful women crossing monthly income of INR 15,000.

LWEC aims to cross the target of empowering 15,000 women by end 2025 to benefit their 60,000 family members.
