Empowering Dalit students through education, leadership, and arts.
Empowering Dalit Women with Education
We provide full scholarships to Dalit women from rural communities in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, for undergraduate and graduate studies. Through education, we empower them to achieve academic success, enabling them to pursue their aspirations in a society marked by double discrimination based on caste and gender.
Using Parai Theater Dance to Promote Dalit Liberation
We empower Dalit communities through cultural expression by teaching Parai, a traditional drumming and dance form often marginalized due to historical discrimination. This art raises awareness of social issues, including caste and gender inequality. By engaging emerging leaders in performances, we help them use this art to advocate for and promote Dalit liberation in their villages.
Nurturing Self-Leadership Among Dalit Women
We nurture leadership among Dalit women through mentorship and training programs that empower them to take active roles in their families and communities. By developing skills in communication and technology, we prepare them for today's society, enabling them to effect meaningful social change.
