About us
Why we exist.
The story behind Aaghaaz – A Beginning — and the single goal that drives everything we do.
To empower women to initiate personal and social change — and make the world better, for all.
Aaghaaz – A Beginning is a non-profit organisation which works for the betterment of less-privileged women — providing them different forms of professional training, and helping them become independent and support their families.
We want to do our part in making the world a better place for all. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits — from vocational classrooms to our boutique and our annual magazine.
Education is something we take very seriously. Our team works each and every day to make sure the women at Aaghaaz gain the most useful skills — skills that lead to employment, and to financial independence.
