Women Empowerment
Prayaas uplifts underprivileged women in Bhauri village near IISER Bhopal. Our female students teach them to craft products like scented candles and handmade Rakhis. Sales on campus benefit the women financially and equip them with valuable skills for a brighter future.
Step into the world of Women Empowerment, an initiative by Prayaas that radiates hope and resilience in the village of Bhauri, nestled near the IISER Bhopal campus. This village, though close in proximity, often remains on the periphery of opportunities and development.
Our mission is simple yet profound - to empower the underprivileged women of Bhauri. To achieve this, our dedicated female students have taken a hands-on approach. They source materials for crafting products that can be easily produced in a domestic setting. These products range from scented candles in clay pots, adding a touch of serenity to any space, to beautiful handcrafted Rakhis, especially popular during the Rakshabandhan season.
The magic unfolds when our students extend warm invitations to the women of Bhauri to gather at a local government school. Here, the exchange of knowledge begins. Our students impart their skills and expertise, teaching the women how to create these exquisite artisanal products. It's not just about crafting; it's about fostering self-reliance and providing a path towards financial independence.
Once these products are lovingly crafted, they find their way back to the IISERB campus, where they are sold with pride and purpose. The proceeds from these sales are then distributed among the women who put in their hard work, all proportionally, ensuring that every effort is rewarded.
This initiative is more than just a means of financial empowerment; it's a journey of self-discovery and self-reliance. It's about breaking the chains of dependence and equipping these women with skills that will stay with them for life. It's about igniting a spark of confidence that can light up their futures.
By supporting our Women Empowerment program, you become a part of this transformative process. You become a beacon of change, enabling women to take control of their lives, develop new skills, and emerge as self-reliant individuals. Join us in our quest to create a more equitable society where women can flourish, thrive, and stand tall as equals. Together, let's empower these women to reach new heights and fulfill their aspirations.
