Home / About
Shakti Prarambha Women Foundation is a public charitable trust working with women and adolescent girls — on education, skill, health, safety and self-reliance.
A girl pulled out of school because the fee could not stretch. A woman told her tailoring skill was “just a hobby”. Another who did not know she had a legal right to the roof over her head. Around us, ability was never the problem — access was.
So a handful of women started meeting after work. First a few home visits, then a small tailoring batch, then a health camp. The women who came asked for more, and kept bringing their neighbours. What began as weekend work became a trust, with a name that says exactly what it is for: Shakti Prarambha — the beginning of strength.
To make education, skill, income, health and legal awareness reachable for every woman in our community — in her own language, near her own home, without a single favour asked in return.
A Maharashtra where no woman’s future is decided by her father’s income, her husband’s permission, or her village’s distance from a city.

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.
