What we do

Programs that turn skills
into livelihoods.

Training, employment and voice — three programs, one journey towards independence.

Vocational training

Learn a skill.
Earn a living.

With our organisation’s mission always in mind, we strive to teach girls new skills which will help them get employment — and thus make them financially independent.

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.

Aaghaaz Boutique

From classroom
to boutique.

Our employees are Aaghaaz alumni, who use their extraordinary designing and stitching skills to make clothes for women — employment built on everything they learned.

Aaghaaz Magazine

Celebrating every beginning.

Aaghaaz was founded with the hope of steering society towards gender equality. With our annual magazine, we honour everyone who supports Aaghaaz and celebrate how far we have come — one story at a time.

From stage performances by our girls to the launch of Anokhi Dukaan, the magazine captures the moments that make the mission real — asking the bold questions and challenging the biases we are too often afraid to name.
