Mann Deshi Foundation is dedicated to the economic empowerment of rural women in India. Our flagship Business School programs are designed to provide marginalized women with the knowledge, skills and support necessary to become successful entrepreneurs and make informed financial decisions.These schools run out of our branch offices as well as through buses that travel right to the door steps of some of the remotest villages.
Challenge
Rural women in India face enormous financial marginalization. Men are usually the ones allowed to be educated while the women are often pulled out of school or married off at a very young age. This leaves them with little or no technical training that would enable them to enter the job market and help them enjoy financial independence. We believe that there is a need to provide these women with access to knowledge and capital that will give them personal and professional agency in their lives
Long-Term Impact
Our aim is to encourage all participants to build micro enterprises, make informed financial decisions, systematically plan their investments, create realistic budgets and ensure a secure future for their families. Apart from the obvious long-term financial gains, we hope to give women the tools to be active, strong and contributing members of society.
