ABOUT US

Our Vision

Create an environment where women feel financially safe and secure so they are able to build a better, brighter future for themselves, their children, their families and the community. We empower women by increasing self-worth and independence, and ultimately encourage secondary education for children, reduce child marriage rates, and empower families to get out of the cycle of poverty.

Our MISSION

Provide a stable, suitable source of income and an opportunity for a real career for underprivileged women

• Reduce financial stress so women can help in taking care of their families by buying food, clothing, and contributing to family finances
• Uplift women so they can gain respect in their families and be seen as an asset, not a burden
• Empower women to provide improved quality of life for their families
• Offer support to the community by providing a safe, fair working environment for mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters of the school children, as women are the ultimate asset
• Provide the tools and resources that women need to create a better life for themselves; we will not enable the women, but we will empower them so they are vested in their success as much as we are

Build a safe, holistic workplace for women with amenities and integrated programs

• Expand the existing sewing center to a larger facility with proper workstations, storage capacity and amenities for the women
• Build a community of powerful women so they can support each other and have freedom and independence
• Undo cultural conditioning, improve self-confidence and promote positive thinking through integrated programs
• Provide educational opportunities for women such as literacy programs and English classes
• Empower women so that their children have the moral support, financial support and emotional support they need to attend and excel in school
• Teach women the importance of education for their daughters, thereby increasing attendance and improving graduation rates at Sandipani Muni School and reducing child marriage statistics
