RURAL WOMEN SOCIETY

Empowering Women Towards Self-Reliance Since 2015

Rural Women Society (RWS) is a registered, grassroots non-profit organization based in Tuensang, Nagaland, working with unwavering commitment to uplift the most marginalized sections of society—especially women, children, and the elderly in rural and tribal areas. Established on 6th July 2015, RWS has grown into a vibrant force for social transformation and inclusive development across Nagaland.

Our work is driven by the belief that sustainable progress begins with empowered women and self-reliant communities. Over the years, we have implemented programs that address the root causes of poverty, illiteracy, gender inequality, and social neglect—while promoting health, education, livelihoods, and dignity for all.

Our Services

Our Services

  • Vocational Training

    (Tailoring, Weaving, Embroidery, Piggery, etc.) We provide practical skill development training to rural and tribal women and youth in areas such as tailoring, weaving, knitting, embroidery, piggery farming, and other income-generating trades. These vocational programs help them become self-reliant, open micro-enterprises, or join cooperatives and self-help groups (SHGs), thereby reducing poverty and unemployment at the grassroots level.

  • Women’s Counseling & HIV/AIDS Support

    Rural Women Society (RWS) offers community-based counseling and support services for women, particularly those who are survivors of domestic violence, social neglect, or living with HIV/AIDS. Our trained counselors and outreach workers provide emotional support, legal referrals, information dissemination, and linkage with government welfare schemes to ensure women are not left behind due to stigma or discrimination.

  • Orphan & Child Shelter and Aftercare Homes

    We are committed to protecting and rehabilitating children who are orphaned, abandoned, or at risk. RWS aims to establish and operate Children’s Homes, Shelter Homes, and Aftercare facilities that provide a safe and nurturing environment along with access to education, healthcare, life-skills, and psychological support. These programs focus on restoring childhood dignity and preparing children for a better future.
