Women's health and empowerment initiatives
Women Career Guidance Presentation and Program
→ NCT (New Beginnings Charitable Trust)
- We developed two career guidance workshops tailored to different groups of women in the Viyyampeta community. The workshop for older women focuses on career opportunities, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, government business grants, and vocational training in partnership with NCT, with the goal of empowering women to build sustainable careers and businesses. The workshop for younger women provides high school students with guidance on career pathways, educational opportunities, entrance examinations, and preparation resources, while also offering motivational talks and mentorship through NCT. Together, these initiatives aim to expand educational and career opportunities, promote financial independence, and empower women to pursue their personal and professional goals.
Menstrual Health and Reproductive Education Presentation and Workshop
→ Self Funded
- We developed a menstrual health education program for girls in grades 6–8 to promote reproductive health awareness and healthy self-care practices. The curriculum covers the female reproductive system, the menstrual cycle, menstrual tracking, natural methods for managing cramps, the importance of exercise, and when to seek medical advice. Interactive workshops include creating DIY heating pads and using menstrual tracking calendars to encourage practical learning. By increasing knowledge and confidence around menstrual health, the program aims to empower participants to manage their health effectively and foster peer support by enabling them to share what they learn with younger students.
Lucky Shakti Iron Leaf Distributions
→ Lucky Shakti
- This project aims to reduce iron deficiency among women in the Viyyampeta community by providing Lucky Shakti Iron Leafs alongside educational resources on their proper use and nutritional benefits. We developed informational pamphlets that explain how to incorporate the iron leaf into everyday cooking and meals, helping women improve their iron intake through simple, sustainable practices. By combining access to resources with health education, the initiative promotes long-term awareness, self-management, and the prevention of iron deficiency.
