तिचा आवाज
Her voice
She learns what the law already guarantees her — and that saying no is a complete sentence.
A Women-Led Public Charitable Trust
Where her strength begins.
शक्तीचा प्रारंभ, प्रगतीचा आरंभ.
Shakti Prarambha stands with women and girls at the moment everything can change — a first classroom, a first skill, a first income, a first time someone listened. We turn that moment into a lifetime.

Women-led team
नारी शक्ती · Woman Power
ती ठरवते. ती उभी राहते.
ती संपूर्ण गाव बदलते.
Empowerment is not something we hand out. It is a decision she gets to make.
Our work is not to speak for women. It is to remove every reason she was told she could not speak for herself.
तिची कमाई
Her income
Money she earned, in an account with her own name on it. Nothing changes a household faster.
तिची निवड
Her choice
When to marry, whether to study, where to work — decisions taken by her, not about her.
तिची साथ
Her people
No woman walks this alone. Every batch becomes a group that keeps meeting long after it ends.

From the Field
What it actually looks like.
The Founders
Two women who decided not to wait.
Shakti Prarambha began the way most good things in a neighbourhood begin — with a conversation that refused to end. Today the trust is led by its founders, who still sit in the same training rooms they started in.
Founder & Managing Trustee
Anjali Murlidhar Marathe
अंजली मुरलीधर मराठे
Anjali leads community outreach and operations. She spends most of her week where the work actually happens — in bastis and villages, running enrolment drives, sitting with families who need convincing that their daughter should finish school, and holding the skill batches together.
Founder & Trustee
Apurva Swapnil Tambe
अपूर्वा स्वप्निल तांबे
Apurva leads programme design and partnerships. She builds the curriculum for each batch, keeps the health and education initiatives for adolescent girls running, and manages the trust's relationships with donors, CSR partners and government schemes.
अभिप्राय · In their words
The only review that matters.
मी शिवणकाम शिकायला आले होते. इथून बँकेत खाते कसे उघडायचे, बिल कसे वाचायचे आणि नाही कसे म्हणायचे हे शिकून गेले.
पहिल्यांदा माझ्या नावाचे खाते झाले. आता घरात माझा शब्द चालतो.
