Megha has been working with Umeed (www.umeedforwomen.com)as a co-founder for the firstleap programme and as an operations lead in the organisation aimed at  women empowerment through skilling and livelihood. The women we select have either little or no formal education. The three pillars for this are training in Skills (basic employable), Mindset (self-worth, self love and self acceptance) and exposure (field visits to public as well as private institutions). The total training is of 2 months and at the end of which we find the employers who interview these women and give them jobs. To continue doing this in areas of Maqta, Borabanda, Amberpet etc in and around Hyderabad and  to start similar holistic programmes for states outside Hyderabad Megha needs to raise funds to help sustain herself and help expand Umeed further and benefit a larger matrix of women from low income communities not only in Hyderabad but across India.
