Love. Give. Serve.

Nari = woman / Chaya = shadow, shelter

A Women’s Learning Centre in Rural India

Narichaya provides shelter for underprivileged women of all ages to find hope, security, connection and a stable anchor in their lives again.

The raw truth is that worldwide women are still fighting for bare education and a fulfilling life path of their own. Countless women still find themselves in an under-priviledged and helpless situation, with increase of domestic violence, sexual abuse and high rates of femicide. The raw truth has become so “normal” that it seems to just have become part of “how the world is”. Rather than accepting these sad facts in a time where people in some part of the world are swimming in abundance while others are starving to death, we decided to make a difference in the lives of the ones who are in need for support. This project is a prayer for justice, freedom and equal rights and opportunities. One of the main goal of Narichaya Learning Centre is to make women aware of their rights in India and help them to realise their real potential while stepping fully into their power.

We are supporting women of all ages and currently place a major focus on the ones who need help the most:

White

Young girls: to provide them with basic education

Why? In north India, due to cultural, social or caste related discrimination, often girls are not sent to school and are not given a chance to study.

Red

Teenage girls /Youth: to provide them with coaching to get jobs i.e. skilled training in computer education, cloths making/fashion designing, entrepreneurship/ how to set up your own shop or small business/ help them in becoming self-employed

Why? Very often teenage girls are forced to marry at young age and afterwards do not get a chance to prepare for entrance exams for college, or government jobs or to become self-employed. Hence they are fully depended on the husband and have no choice but become a full time stay-at-home mom.

Black

Elderly Women: To provide them training in weaving, knitting, sewing and help in basic earnings as there are is no government support or Pensions for the elderly in India

Why? as most of the women in north India support their families as a house wife. Once their husband is dead, or after divorce, these ladies do not have a source of income.

Current Stage

Project is being set up at 2 buildings

Building 1

Building 1 is presently being constructed with 13 training rooms and 1 computer center

Building 2

Building 2 was constructed in 2020 with 4 large rooms. It is located in rural area in close vicinity of unemployed women & young ladies.

You can make a difference!

The change begins with each and everyone of us. When seeing others who are not in the position of even securing basic life needs, we need to step in and take responsibility for the world we would like to see in. And make a step towards change by caring. Caring for the ones who are not as privileged.
