Women's Rights/Empowerment

Ekya's aim in 2010 will focus on the immense opportunity that exists with supporting Women's empowerment. It has become apparent that investing in Women has an incredibly high rate of return. Women in developing areas are exceptional at saving, providing for their families and generating income. In 2010, Ekya will seek those projects and people that are helping to secure the future of women, whether it be through the reduction of trafficking, microfinance, the creation of self-help groups and beyond. We feel as though there is a tremendous opportunity here, and are looking forward to making a significant impact in this arena.

Please stay tuned as we update this page with relevant project ideas.
