Projects designed to support Indian women
CARE TO ACTION wants to support women's empowerment through the help to the self-help groups that have sprung up in rural and urban contexts, learning activities, and providing work tools, so that women can be aware of their rights, have a supporting network, get useful knowledge about money management, learn a job and have the means to do it independently.
WOMEN4CHANGE
CARE TO ACTION pays much attention to training women in particular social-economic distress, accompanying them on empowerment paths to start micro-enterprises or individual businesses, and providing them with the initial tools to start their own activities.
WOMEN IN ACTION
The protection of women also includes the promotion and support of women's self-help groups, with the aim of empowering them socially and economically, improving awareness of available social protection systems and making them more accessible.
ANGA-CARE
CARE TO ACTION aims at renovating anganwadi, often dilapidated government nurseries, to ensure safe and secure schools for children. It also organises training activities for mothers and facility staff, conveying information on mother and child health.
