Saptashati Foundation is developing a society of peace, both inside and outside the houses, through women’s active and knowledgeable involvement in various activities. By supporting daily wage earners, providing appropriate care for individuals with disabilities in collaboration with other NGOs, and empowering women with a strong foundation of traditional values and respect, the Saptashati Foundation serves as a modern helping hand for those in need. We support and strengthen NGOs working for the upliftment of women, helping women discover their voices and confidently share their stories—fostering positive change and contributing to the growth of a more empowered Indian society.

Working towards the welfare of women, Saptashati Foundation is rapidly taking significant steps to provide quality help to the deprived & underprivileged, thereby ensuring a 360 degree turn in their socio-economic status, so they get the deserved respect & happiness in the society.

We at Saptashati promote the means of economic change for women at grassroot level- through the development of well maintained micro-enterprises such as handloom, craftsmanship and natural agro- food products, etc.

Saptashati Foundation highlights the challenges that women and less fortunate people are facing in their daily lives. We are courageous in our goals, and we are dedicated to cultivating programs that can help them in earning and leading a better life.

Mission

Widowed women, handicapped people, disabled people, have to struggle for their rights and are frequently victims of discrimination. At Saptashati Foundation, our team works towards empowering the widowed women of our Indian society and, we ensure that we reach every corner of India to uplift these widowed from their distressed state. Sustaining economic insecurity, social disgrace, and often abandonment, widowed women are facing several challenges in Indian society. At Saptashati Foundation, we are committed to transforming societal attitudes towards widowed women. We aim to shift perceptions and foster respect, while actively creating economically empowering opportunities that help them lead independent, dignified lives. We are here to resolve the challenging experience of living in a patriarchal community with a widowed status.

Widowed women and their children need our support and care. Saptashati Foundation was established with the aim to inspire a sense of welfare and bring a social revolution in the way we see these serious matters. Our purpose is to offer financial and social as well as economic security to women who have endured the grief of widowhood. We help, assist, and support old and young widowed women in rural and urban areas to regain an opportunity at a more secure life.

Those with a sensitive vision realized that the uncertainty spread to all women who are subject to the patriarchal framework traditionally, culturally, and economically. In the developing world, women had to come out of their four walls if they wanted to carve out a future for themselves. Women would have to come out of their cocooned living if the process of nation-building had to be undertaken. Women themselves would have to understand and build on their own powers and abilities. To serve the women of the country in a better way, Saptashati Foundation offers multiple platforms leading to a life full of happiness and contentment.

Saptashati Foundation's mission is to instill knowledge and skill development in the minds of widowed and less fortunate women- thus enabling them to become self reliant and provide them with social, financial and psychological support for a better life.

All our community programs aim towards changing people's thought process and their attitudes while bringing about skill development opportunities in collaboration with other like-minded NGOs. The motive is to change the lives of under privileged children and women towards a much better living.

In India, there is a wide gap in the urban and rural women's status and condition, where our age old notions account for the pitiful conditions of widows in rural India. They are victimized in many forms in their everyday lives leading to their low self esteem. While the wealthy, educated and capable women are experiencing equality in the society, rural women are still suffering- especially the widows. We are here to bring about a positive change, offering equality to the rural women and their widows through various platforms where we voice their concerns thus changing the society's outlook as a whole. In the process, we help them live a happy life with dignity.

Vision

Our vision focuses on the welfare of handicapped people, widows, and senior citizens. We want to give them equal opportunities to live with pride in society with independence and self-respect. We work toward the economic reform of these people and help them provide the right skill set and exposure to let them move ahead in life. We fight against dowry harassment, infanticide, female genital mutilation, and human trafficking.

Women compose half of the population of the globe and share one percent of the resources. In India, women are born to experience pain when they are widowed or even divorced. The difficulties of women are doubled if they happen to be widows on the Indian land. A woman is enclosed by the culture that seldom she can get out of this. Though social transformation is very fast due to the growing globalization few areas remain constant and one of the areas where the progress is very slow in marriage and related customs.

Every change on the planet starts with a new phase of consciousness, a new experience, and a new vision. The main drive of Sati Savi motive is to create a new growth paradigm, which is the effect of a new experience to set the motion for women's empowerment programs and global culture for empowering women by gathering NGOs, authorities, and the media to cover the women welfare knowledge and educate the public at large on practical models like the human right to justice, harmony, fitness, and care & increased opportunities for them.

Women of India have nothing to state in shaping the economic and civic space in which they live. It is important that their ideas and thoughts, natural skills, strong and effective participation in the community, and their deep purpose for a more peaceful world be supposed to help catalyze the will for the transformation of systems and structures into the way of equality, community, and peace.

Despite all the formal advertisements about empowerment and the various management schemes intended to improve women's economic and social circumstances, their present status still shows much reason for concern.

Our vision is to start and promote such methods and actions where socially and economically stable women irrespective of age, class, color, or family are able to engage actively in the means of their community so that they are able to start a life of dignity and respect.
