We are two Teach for India Fellows Anoushka and Apoorva working with a group of mothers from Mehrauli, Delhi who've come together to form Rimjhim. Our project Rimjhim is an effort to empower these women to earn sustainably and become independent entrepreneurs.  Covid affected women workers more than men and as a consequence most of these mothers lost their jobs. During a community visit we observed that most of the mothers had basic embroidery skills. We explored the possibility of using this skill and creating an opportunity for them to earn from it, and hence Rimjhim was born. The mothers have been working on upskilling their embroidery skills these past few weeks. Our dream for Rimjhim is to be a platform which provides hand embroidered products made by our mothers and not only to provide these products but also to impact and uplift the community one mother one family at a time. We wish to create an impact that is felt through generations to come. We all would really appreciate your support in being a part of this movement.
Building a rural enterprise is a long journey and involves many factors like
capital, raw materials, machinery, legal compliances, and risk covers. We are
currently working on evolving the capacities of these women to prepare them
for taking lead.
We require funds to strengthen our initiative further and help us reach our
goal sooner.
All the funds raised here shall be used by the group towards providing
procuring raw materials for embroidery, creating new products, skill-upgrading
training and most importantly work towards registration and organization-
building processes. We don't want the women who are a part of this initiative to go back to their previous conditions where they did not have any job opportunities and lacked the money to support their families
That's why we urge you to donate to this cause ..as every time you donate you empower livelihoods
