Deepak Foundation has significantly contributed to women’s empowerment by giving them opportunities to enhance their livelihood. Women in Nandesari, a small, closed community, now have the opportunity to gain new skills and ensure a living thanks in large part to campaigns that support women’s self-help groups (SHGs) and women’s dairy cooperatives (WDCs).
