🌸 S.H.E.N. Project
The S.H.E.N. Project (Skilling, Health, Education & Nutrition) by UDGI Foundation is a comprehensive rural development initiative focused on empowering adolescent girls and women across villages.
It brings together essential components of well-being – skills for livelihood, access to health & hygiene, quality education, and proper nutrition awareness.
By combining these four pillars, the project aims to create confident, self-reliant, and healthy women who can contribute to their families and society.
S.H.E.N. is implemented through village-level learning centers, self-help groups, schools, and health camps.
Why S.H.E.N
Women in rural India often face multiple barriers – limited education, poor nutrition, lack of health awareness, and no livelihood skills.
These gaps keep them dependent, vulnerable, and excluded from opportunities.
There is also low awareness about reproductive health, menstrual hygiene, and digital or financial literacy.
The S.H.E.N. Project provides an integrated approach to uplift rural women, starting from education to employment.
🔹 Main Focus Areas
Skilling for Livelihood – Training women in stitching, beauty, digital literacy, and entrepreneurship.
Health Awareness & Menstrual Hygiene – Conducting sessions and pad distributions for adolescent girls and mothers.
Educational Upliftment – Bridge courses, basic literacy classes, and digital learning for drop-out girls.
Nutrition Guidance – Awareness on balanced diets, anaemia, malnutrition, and healthy cooking practices.
Self-Help & Leadership – Forming women’s groups for savings, mutual support, and village-level leadership.
How S.H.E.N. Works
UDGI Foundation identifies underserved villages and women’s groups, and sets up multi-purpose learning and support centers.
Weekly sessions are held by trained mentors covering health talks, skill workshops, nutrition demos, and education classes.
We also collaborate with local schools, ASHA workers, and Anganwadi centers for outreach and follow-up.
Each participant gets a personal growth plan and can graduate into earning income, mentoring peers, or joining self-help groups.
Impact is tracked through health improvements, income generation, learning progress, and community feedback.
