Empowering Young Girls & Women Through Education & Skill-Based Training
Project Shiksha, spearheaded by the Sheisdevi Foundation, is committed to transforming the lives of girls and women in India through education — both in the classroom and beyond it. The initiative sponsors the educational journey of bright young girls from primary school through college, while also equipping women with real, income-generating skills through vocational training, mentorship, and community support. Its current project, in partnership with JPM Society, supports a cluster of banana fibre artisans in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, in acquiring and learning to operate a mobile banana fibre extraction machine — training the women in fibre extraction, grading, drying, and processing so the cluster can produce its own raw material instead of depending on costly outside vendors, whose prices swing between Rs. 150 and 250 per kg for the 700–1,000 kg of fibre the cluster needs every month. This is what "shiksha" means in practice: not just literacy, but the practical, technical know-how that lets a woman build and control her own livelihood — turning banana waste into a stable, self-reliant enterprise for one life, one skill, and one cluster at a time.
Nutritional Support for Preemies and New Mothers
Project Mamta, an initiative by the Sheisdevi Foundation, is dedicated to enhancing the nutritional well-being of preemies, babies, and new mothers in India. Recognizing the critical role nutrition plays in the early stages of life, this project aims to provide comprehensive support and resources to ensure healthy growth and development. By focusing on the unique nutritional needs of premature infants, newborns, and postpartum mothers, Project Mamta seeks to empower families with the knowledge and tools necessary for nurturing a healthy start. Through community engagement, educational workshops, and the distribution of essential nutritional supplies, the project strives to create a supportive environment for mothers and their children, ultimately contributing to a healthier future for the next generation.
Ensuring Safety and Confidence for Girls
Project Suraksha, an empowering initiative by the Sheisdevi Foundation, is dedicated to equipping young girls with the skills and knowledge necessary for their safety and well-being. This project focuses on teaching self-defense techniques and training girls to understand the concepts of good and bad touch. By fostering a sense of confidence and awareness, Project Suraksha aims to empower girls to protect themselves and make informed decisions about their personal safety. Through interactive workshops, expert-led training sessions, and community outreach, the project seeks to create a safe and supportive environment where girls can learn and grow. Project Suraksha is committed to building a future where every girl feels empowered, secure, and capable of navigating the world with confidence.
