Our Mission

Empowering Women

Chandra-Jai Social Foundation is committed to empowering women from economically challenged communities by providing access to education, vocational training, healthcare support, and opportunities for self-reliance.

Through our programs, we aim to help women become self-reliant and independent, enabling them to contribute to their families and communities with dignity and confidence.

Our Vision

Creating Self-Reliant Women

We envision a world where all women have the education, skills, support, and opportunities they need to lead independent and fulfilling lives. A world where women are empowered to make their own choices and shape their own futures.

Our vision is to create a network of self-reliant women who can support themselves and their families through the education and skills they've acquired, while also having access to necessary support during important life events and health emergencies.
