Last week, I met Jayanti ‘Jazz’ who dreams of making a career as a singer. She is part of the bunch that is being empowered by the Aahan Foundation for Social Change at the Community Centre in Gejha near Noida Sector 93A. I loved her confidence, self-belief & leadership skills.

@vfsglobalcare@vfsglobal it’s frustrating to chase you for visa fee refund and even after more than two months and lots of emails there is no response from your customer care team. My ticket number 1235836. Please help.
First gen school goers, first five girls going out of their panchayat in Jharkhand not for working at home,brick kiln or brothel but 2 get trained as graphic designers. They were given choice between home and career&they dared 2 choose the latter. Our work is now showing results.
Very proud moment for Aahan family as it’s led by the girls from within the community. No girl should be left behind from living an empowered life and making her dreams come true.
One more centre of Excellence & Empowerment opened yesterday in Jonha Panchayat, Jharkhand. This is in association with Aanganabadi and panchayat. Girls who were forced to work, abused are now finding their path and voice, getting future ready. @ArtiforAahan@HemantSorenJMM
A stalwart, inspiration to so many like me, an excellent human being, a power house, a true hero Kamla Bhasinji has gone! Let’s keep raising our voice and keep helping others to rise. This will the biggest tribute to her. 🙏🙏 #KamlaBhasin#genderequality
@BuchSonowal@binduagarwal13@kasharma2010 I am shocked at this news. जो मशाल वो जलाकर गयीं हैं उसे और रोशन करना होगा, अपनी आवाज़ को और बुलंद करना होगा और यही उनकी सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि होगी। #kamlabhasin आप हमें हमेशा प्रेरणा देती रहेंगी।
Aahan Foundation’s UrjaaFellowship is a two year program for the girls from marginalised community in rural Jharkhand. These fellows are the change leaders who have taken the responsibility of educating and empowering the girls in their community. #peermentoring#education
Our #urjaafellows are the change leaders who are leading the young girls with love and compassion towards empowerment, better education and creating the first generation of girls who are aware of their rights and responsibilities.
Right to education in many parts of rural India also includes duty to prepare mid day meal, clean classrooms & dirty toilets. It’s an accepted practice in Govt. Schools. Its a violation of child rights and is illegal using students as child labour. @HemantSorenJMM@smritiirani
@sameerksampat@JeanDreze We did a survey and roughly in a class of 180 girl students only 8 have access to mobile. This doesn’t mean that they use it as well.
So many are posting this video saying how terrible it is that "people" are fleeing. But only women are asking the important question of "where are the women?"
Are we so blind or biased that we cannot see them? Reality - women are invisible.
The cow which doesn’t listen is either disobedient or disappointment! #AahanBravehearts always work as a team and find a solution without making too much of noise about their struggle. Their mantra - One problem at a time and they have solved so many.
They have found a solution to the constant struggle between their cattle grazing duty and studies. #Aahanbravehearts have combined both and do this in groups/turns so that few of them can focus only on study while others do both. #education#adivasigirlsmatters
For me life is about pushing myself out of comfortzone. I challenged myself to cross this bridge on the bicycle before sunrise with nobody to rescue me. It was not easy for me as I didn’t know how to ride a bicycle till 2 days back. Life’s small pleasures!
.@imranirampal, we see a similar passion among #Aahanbravehearts to “escape” from the poverty & mindset that suppresses girls & tries to pin them down in the vicious circle of helplessness, and have emerged as role-model for girls in their communities.
