People's Organisation for Wider Education & Rights (POWER) NGO is committed to empowering women from rural communities by providing them with skills, knowledge, and confidence to lead independent and dignified lives. Many rural women face social and economic challenges, limited opportunities, and lack of awareness about their rights. People's Organisation for Wider Education & Rights (POWER) NGO addresses these issues through a combination of vocational training and rights education, creating a path toward self-reliance and personal growth.
A key focus of our program is training in aari embroidery and tailoring. These skills equip women to earn a sustainable livelihood while preserving traditional crafts. Through hands-on training, women learn professional techniques, product design, and quality standards. Many graduates of our program have successfully started small businesses, contributing to their household income and gaining recognition within their communities. Beyond financial benefits, the training enhances self-confidence, creativity, and independence, helping women see their potential and value.
Alongside skill development, People's Organisation for Wider Education & Rights (POWER) NGO conducts awareness programs on women’s rights. These sessions educate women about legal rights, health and reproductive rights, workplace equality, and protection against domestic violence. Understanding their rights empowers women to make informed decisions, assert themselves, and participate actively in their communities. The combination of skills and awareness ensures women are empowered both economically and socially.
The impact of our initiatives is evident in the transformation of women’s lives. Participants now run businesses, support their families, and serve as role models for their children, inspiring a culture of education and ambition. Additionally, women form support networks, mentor one another, and collaborate on projects, ensuring that empowerment continues beyond the program.
