(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.
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.
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.
