Our Journey
Founded in 1977 by Shirin Hussain, a visionary educational psychologist, our organization stems from her deep understanding of the importance of education in a woman's life. With a passion for empowering women through self-dependency, she supported them in starting businesses, fostering a journey toward self-reliance. Beyond entrepreneurship, she dedicated herself to rescuing women from household violence and inequality. Today, our organization stands as a testament to her enduring commitment, creating positive change through ongoing efforts to uplift and empower women in the realms of education, self-reliance, and advocacy.
