We exist because capable women were being wasted
One registration, one identity, one record of her, held by her.
Nari Shakti Forum works with single mothers, widows and women left to raise children alone. Not because they are helpless — most of them are the most resourceful people in their street — but because the systems that were built to help them are scattered across eleven offices and none of those offices talks to the others.
We put all of it in one place. One registration, one identity, one record of her, held by her. Entitlements, work, training, legal help, childcare and safety — from one organisation that stays.
We are an initiative of Goadh Foundation, and we operate in Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR, with centres planned across states.
“She was always capable. All we did was move what was in the way.”
Dr. Md. Nizamuddin, Founder, Nari Shakti Forum and Goadh Foundation
