Sewa Shram Shakti Foundation

Sewa Shakti is an NGO organisation dedicated to the wholistic rehabilitation of women and girls who have been rescued from human trafficking and sexual violence.Since September 2017, we have trained over 300 survivors at our skill development centre in Okhla, New Delhi and formed a safe and secure working environment where women can be gainfully employed and develop life-long, workplace skills.

Our philosophy at Sewa Shakti is to give agency and opportunity. Women are given access to education, counselling, and rehabilitation, as we hold space for survivors to heal and grow into the best versions of themselves. A core principle of our company is to ensure that women can decide the workmanship that they are interested in and advance their skills accordingly.This opportunity is paired with the training necessary to give women financial independence and self-empowerment as they are taught financial management, income generation, bargaining capacity, as well as basic health and hygiene. This means our women not only develop valuable life skills but can also gain confidence within themselves.

Our grass roots approach to employment and distribution is delivered in a way that speaks to our company ethos. We believe that all growth should be sustainable, ethical, and made with intention. Our team works closely with local hand-loom weavers, embroidery, and beading artisans, who are often living in great poverty themselves. Through this long-standing relationship, we have been able to identify more gaps in the community that are of most concern and focus on how our company will remedy to close them. We are constantly connected to life on the ground and are always searching for ways to connect with and aid the displaced and marginalised members of society.

At Sewa Shram Shakti Foundation, we sincerely believe everyone should be able to provide for their families and move out of poverty into a more prosperous lifewith meaningful employment and access to a fair wage. Our primary goalis to support vulnerable women and unite communities under the umbrella principle that basic needs are human rights, and that all people should have equal opportunities to having these needs met.
