Disabled women in rural areas face many difficulties when it comes to education, professional training, and earning a livelihood. They are considered a liability to society and live in miserable conditions.

In an effort to improve their precarious conditions, develop confidence and make them economically independent, The Dalal Family Foundation is supporting the Disabled Women Empowerment Project (Jyotiben Dalal Viklang Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojna) under which these women get trained in sewing, beauty parlor treatments and computers. Financing is given to these women for the purchase of sewing machines and beauty parlor kits, thereby making it convenient to start a small business.

Swarachna School, situated in  Kaintain village of Sitapur district in Uttar Pradesh, is the first senior secondary school for the surrounding 13 villages. With the collective efforts of Milaan and the community, the school provides holistic and value-based education to children with an emphasis on girls’ empowerment and education.

Girls on the Run offers fun, evidence-based programs that inspire all girls to build their confidence, kindness and decision-making skills. The program culminates with a 5K race. Our eight-year partnership has made a major impact – we have been able to provide scholarships to more than 300 girls in Camden, Middlesex and Somerset counties, thereby affording opportunities for girls in low-income communities to participate in the program.

Ayati’s charity mission is to educate girls in rural India about optimal hygiene practices and to provide the proper materials to help them lead better lives through the Girl Icon program. The foundation has supported the Ayati Charity since their inception 10 years ago and has impacted a few hundred girls in villages of North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Members of the Dalal family (Foundation CEO Nayan’s daughter Anushka and wife Bindu) visited a few villages of north India and experienced the impact of the Girl Icon program.
