Vishwa Gujarati Samaj
International Women’s wing, a tributary of Vishwa Gujarati Samaj, an umbrella organisation of Gujaratis world over, embarks on many innovative projects, which not only benefit women at large but also radically influence women living under the poverty lines and empower these women through various innovative programs.
Our Values and Ethos:
Keeping in center women, especially the women working in unorganized sectors, our dream is to support them by offering various Skill Development Programs in rural and urban areas through which their craftsmanship might improve and their economic activities can be strengthened. With perseverance and innovative marketing opportunities through cluster development programs, we are able to provide them unique platform for the individual betterment.
Improvement in physical and mental health of unprivileged children and women has always remained a neglected area. When we talk about “human capital,” it generally means ‘education’, but one’s health can also be viewed as a form of capital specially that of children. Pre-school intervention for poor children improves long-term outcomes for disadvantaged children, although it does not bring these children up to the level of their more advantaged peers but it is a start. There is a strong need to design public programs to improve the outcomes from children of disadvantaged backgrounds. This field of operation is vital to our organization.
We, at International Women’s Wing, by taking help of experts in the related fields and through the kind sponsorship of individual and institutional donors, have initiated several programs to empower women to its fullest including organizing seminars, workshops and debates at suitable time and place to raise a general awareness on women’s issues.
