Women Empowerment

Meet Asha

A Story of Strength

Asha lived in a village where women's empowerment and gender equality were far-fetched dreams. With her limited exposure to education and finance, she was still dependent on others. She did have a dream, though—to be an entrepreneur and build a secure future for herself and her family.

Upon hearing of the Rushi Fund Women Empowerment Program, Asha's life changed. She learned money management, leadership, and entrepreneurship through our female youth empowerment programs. With a tiny grant and mentorship, she began a tailoring business. Today, Asha not only earns an income but has also employed three other women from her community, contributing to women's agency and empowerment in her village.

Asha's is just one of the countless lives transformed by empowerment. We believe at Rushi Fund that if women can succeed, families prosper, and communities flourish. Join us in making more success stories like Asha's!

The Role of Men

Allies for Change

Men have a critical role to play in promoting gender equality. We encourage them to break stereotypes, advocate for women in leadership, and build inclusive communities.

How Men Can Support Women’s Empowerment:

  • Equip women with skills and knowledge.
  • Being fellow advocates of women's rights.
  • Creating women-friendly & safe spaces for them to grow.

True empowerment is achieved when women and men work together as equals.
