Women Leadership Collective

Women make up over 48% of India’s population. In 2022, only 27% of the workforce was female.

The Women Leadership Collective is focused on empowering women and leveraging community involvement to improve schools.

We aim to reach 100 Gram Panchayats through self-help groups by 2025.

Reimagining education for girls: A community-driven movement in Bihar

We have joined hands with two remarkable women’s self-help groups, Jyoti Mahila Samakhya and Srishti Mahila Samakhya—to bring to life a prototype in the heart of Bihar, spanning the districts of Muzaffarpur and Sheohar.

Through this initiative, our goal is to revive Meena Manch, a UNICEF program, designed to uplift and guide young girls on their educational journey, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.

We are also working to revive School Management Committees (SMCs) in the region, empowering them to champion the cause of girls’ education and a supportive community fabric around their dreams and aspirations.

Together, we are cultivating an environment where education blossoms, and girls soar towards a brighter future.
