WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME – Maithreyi

KSWCT has a strong belief that communities can develop and sustain if their citizens are adequately empowered with knowledge and skill sets. In line with this, we have engaged in several initiatives.

Maithreyi is a Women Empowerment, Economic independency and Personal development programme organized by Kabiguru Social Welfare and Charitable Trust. We are working to provide quality living through different vocational education and social awareness programme to the underprivileged women in our area. Our mission is to enhance Women’s Economic status, Dignity and Decision making within their families.  

Maithreyi, Rural Women Development and Empowerment project is to strengthen processes that promote economic development of woman and create an environment for social change.  The specific area of work is to establish women’s self help group (SHG), increase the income of poor women and improve the access to better health, education and child labor reduction facilities. 

Our responsibility towards women empowerment with the progress of communities being dependent on the working generation, Our Trust focused its initiatives on the welfare and well-being of women from the sections of underprivileged society. The underlying objective was to give them the opportunity to raise their standard of living. 

Our Trust believes that empowering a woman means empowering her whole family. We continues to support vocational Training course in tailoring to promote self-sufficiency amongst underprivileged women, especially girl student dropouts, widows, divorcees and women from Below Poverty Line segment in and around the villages of Nadia, Murshidabad, Hooghly etc.

During self counseling session, most of the women showed enthusiasm in learning some skills to supplement their household income. They showed interest in learning basic stitching skills and advance tailoring, fashion designing, Creative art, Craft and more. To facilitate these kinds of vocational training, we has joined hands with different women self help groups in our area.
