Women Empowerment

Strong Women. Stronger Communities.

In tribal and rural parts of Gadchiroli district, women are the backbone of families and society. Yet, they face many challenges—poverty, early marriage, lack of education, no access to healthcare, unemployment, and social restrictions. Many women live lives full of struggle without ever being given the chance to grow or lead.

At The Josh Foundation, we believe that empowering women means empowering the whole community. When women are educated, skilled, and financially independent, they uplift not just themselves, but their children, families, and entire villages.

Our Initiatives for Women Empowerment

1. Education and Awareness

We organize regular awareness camps in villages to educate women about:

  • Health and hygiene

  • Nutrition and child care

  • Legal rights and government schemes

  • Importance of education for girls
    We also motivate mothers to send their daughters to school and support them in the process.

 2. Skill Development & Livelihood Training

We provide vocational and skill-based training such as:

  • Tailoring and stitching

  • Food processing

  • Goat and poultry farming

  • Handicrafts and local art
    These trainings are followed by handholding support, helping women to start micro-businesses or join self-help groups.

 3. Financial Inclusion

We support tribal women in forming and strengthening Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Through savings, internal lending, and micro-credit, women learn to handle money and become self-reliant. Many women have started earning and are now contributing to their family income.

 4. Health & Mental Well-being

We regularly organize:

  • Women health check-up camps

  • Menstrual hygiene awareness drives

  • Deaddiction counselling for affected families
    We also counsel women facing domestic abuse or emotional stress, and connect them with the right support.

Impact So Far

  • 100+ tribal women trained in various skills

  • 50+ women-led micro-enterprises supported

  • 300+ women reached through health camps and awareness drives

  • Daughters of empowered mothers are now attending schools regularly

Our Vision

A confident, skilled, and healthy woman can transform her home, village, and society. The Josh Foundation is committed to building a future where every tribal woman lives with dignity, freedom, and equal opportunity
