Purahan Welfare Society
There is an opportunity in empowering women in India, especially the disadvantaged ones. The IMF estimates that equal participation of women in the workforce will increase India’s GDP by 27 percent and the economic impact of achieving gender equality in India is estimated to be US$700 billion of added GDP by 2025.
Purahan Welfare Society has been founded with the mission to empower 100,000 underprivileged women and girls. We have started with small steps like educating women with formal financial systems, the importance of saving accounts, financial assets, contracts, fundraising, loans, and debt. Our next plans are skilling women and girls in modern apparel manufacturing, tailoring, and training for self-defense
The Government of India’s MUDRA scheme to support micro and small enterprises and direct benefit transfers under the Jan Dhan Yojana seeks to empower women. Women entrepreneurs account for about 78 percent of the total number of borrowers under MUDRA. Purahan Welfare Society aims to empower women entrepreneurs through upskilling and financial enablement
