This goal will be achieved by the transformative process of empowering women through financial independence, and creating an ecosystem for women in remote areas, linking them to opportunities at their doorstep as well as providing them with a platform to connect with the world. Giri Foundation harnesses the passion and commitment of these women by providing training through relevant skill training institutes, focussing on business and financial literacy, management skills, and confidence building. The vision is to provide women with stable, sustainable employment or entrepreneurial opportunities, and broader market exposure with the overall aim of self-suffcient livelihood.
By partnering with global and national brands and bringing opportunities to the doorstep of rural women entrepreneurs, the foundation provides greater outreach while maintaining fair trade practices and assuring quality checks. This ensures that women earn what they deserve for the goods they produce.
The Foundation provides training opportunities by partnering with relevant institutes and is focused on understanding business, financial literacy, management skills as well as incorporating confidence building as a means to upskill women.
To close the loop, Giri Foundation also works towards exploring financing opportunities to women through Government and Non-Government entities. Financial security is the ultimate goal and that is done so with the support of the Indian Government.
