Our work with women leaders from marginalised communities have shown us that they are disproportionately isolated in their journey to drive change. We believe marginalised women who have lived experience of gender injustice are the best drivers of long term positive change.
Our ambition is to support more than 1000 emerging women from marginalised communities to become well-known and impactful leaders driving change.
Our core and unique offerings include
Nguvu Collective doesn’t just train individuals to lead change – our model embeds women from marginalised communities (dalits, indigenous, LGBTQIA and other communities) in a structured Change Leaders community that sustains collective action and leverages the power of mass media to shift power. This is the uniqueness of our model that allows for sustained long-term social impact.
Our powerful model, starting with a pilot in Asia, built a community of 300 women Change Leaders, setting up an ecosystem of support around them and helping them shift their power through building their public profile. This community has gone on to drive more than 70 campaign victories which have impacted the lives of 180 million women in India. Change Leaders have also run for office, started organisations, and become policy experts on their issue areas after they have been through this program.
Our interventions are based on a seven year proven model and decades of experience in driving large scale social impact and tackling the obstacles women leaders face.
