“Empowering Women: Breaking Barriers with Education, Skills, and Equality”
Enable gender equality through quality education for girls and women from impoverished and distraught segements of society
The Surya-Chandra Foundation is dedicated to uplifting underprivileged women and children through education, skill development, and essential support services. By forming self-help groups, connecting them with financial resources, and offering healthcare and shelter, we foster sustainable development and independence.
Our mission is to empower these individuals to break free from cycles of poverty and inequality. Through education, skill-building, and access to vital resources, we aim to create opportunities for holistic growth and stronger, thriving communities.
YEARS OF CARE
Women make up half of the world’s population and yet represent a staggering 70% of the world’s poor. We live in a world in which women living in poverty face gross inequalities and social justice from birth to death. From poor education to poor nutrition to vulnerable and low pay employment, the sequence of discrimination that a woman may suffer during her entire life is unacceptable but all too common.
Investing in girls’ education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty. Investments in secondary school education for girls yields especially high dividends.
Girls who have been educated are likely to marry later and to have smaller and healthier families. Educated women can recognize the importance of health care and know how to seek it for themselves and their children. Education helps girls and women to know their rights and to gain confidence to claim them.
SC Foundation is dedicated to empowering underprivileged communities through education, healthcare, and skill development, fostering a brighter future for all.

Gender-based violence (#GBV) is fueled by power inequalities and harmful notions of masculinity. Education holds the power to create lasting change by teaching respect, consent, and peace. This #16Days of Activism, let’s unite to spread awareness and advocate for gender-transformative education to build a safer, more equitable world!
