Over the past ten years, there has been growing recognition of the significance of gender equality, not only for the well-being of nations but also for their social and economic progress. Advancing gender equality and empowering women are fundamental components of the Sustainable Development Goals. This entails advocating for equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources for women, enabling them to make independent decisions and have control over their own lives. Empowered women contribute positively to economic growth, social advancement, and sustainable development. They actively participate in decision-making processes, education, healthcare, and leadership roles. Women empowerment fosters a more balanced and diverse society, where women’s voices are valued, their talents are acknowledged, and their potential is fully realized. It represents a critical step toward creating a more just and harmonious world for everyone.
Women empowerment program by Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti is aimed at reaching the marginalized and socially excluded women through vocational training courses. These courses empower women to effect lasting positive changes in the community, while also assisting them in gaining awareness, skills, and financial independence. Additionally, Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti actively strives to promote gender equality by involving men and boys in the women’s empowerment process.
Name: Yasmin Parveen │ Age: 44 years
“Why do we, as mature women, often find ourselves deemed unimportant?” It’s even more painful when our own children treat us like burdens. We’re cherished only as long as we’re in perfect health. Our aging faces and toothless smiles don’t seem to hold any appeal for anyone. After my husband passed away, I poured my heart and soul into raising my children. I even worked as a construction laborer to ensure my children didn’t go hungry.
I made a promise to myself that I would never beg. So, I began designing and selling stitched suit pieces after receiving training in Dress Making from Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti. The earning is enough to sustain me, and aside from buying food for myself, I can even manage to buy sweets for my children with the earnings.

Much like many others in my community, we rely entirely on my father’s income. He works as a daily wage labourer in a marble factory. We reside in a rented home, and the rent is so high that it leaves us with very little to cover our monthly expenses, let alone afford schooling.
I approached Priyanka Didi, a field worker from Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti (SNSSS), she advised me to enrolled in one of the vocational training courses, to learn new skills and to became another earning member of the family.
Muskan Mansoori has selected the Dress Making course from Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti (SNSSS) to pursue her dreams.
