What is Aadhar Mahila Udyog?
We started the Aadhar Mahila Udyog livelihood initiative in 2014 to bolster and aid slum residents and vulnerable women. Through this initiative, these women have a place to work and support their families while also ensuring that their kids receive the finest possible education at Utkarsha School.
They produce a variety of bags, and the money they make from selling those bags goes towards helping their families and some less fortunate kids. Thousands of impoverished women have benefited from this project throughout the years.
Mahesh Foundation teaches women how to create schoolbags and engage in various forms of revenue generation as part of the Aadhar Mahila Udyog initiative. Both training and extensive on-the-job experience were required for them to maintain their way of life. We discovered that bag stitching is a viable option for providing for these ladies, so we chose to train them to make bags and make a living.

Those who are economically disadvantaged must overcome several obstacles throughout their lives, such as prejudice, a lack of opportunities, and ignorance. This prevents the family from accessing facilities like adequate healthcare, education, and other services. The effects of unemployment and illiteracy on the family are so severe that they will be unable to make ends meet and will therefore remain outside of society's mainstream. To overcome these obstacles, they require aid.
Our Challenges
Our Solution
Under the Aadhar Mahila Udyoga Livelihood Program, Mahesh Foundation selects these women and offers bag-stitching instruction. Thousands of impoverished women who live in slums have been helped by this initiative to overcome obstacles and secure a living.

Mahesh Foundation has been making a difference in the lives of many people through a variety of programmes. Through Aadhar Mahila Udyog, we have empowered rural "Mahila" (women) by teaching them to sew. We have also provided the sewing machines, and as a result, their products are now more in demand by local businesses. Aadhar mahila Udyog (AMU), which was once just a vision, has now become a brand.
