Women Empowerment Centre Since 1977

Development policy and gender equality policy are the main objectives of our women empowerment centre.

ICPA Focuses on empowering poor and marginalized young girls and women through its endevours.

The Majority of the 1.5 billion people in the world living on 1 dollar a day or less are women. Moreover, the gap between women and men, caught up in the cycle of povertyhas continued to widen in the past decades, a phenomenon commonly reffered to as “the feminization of poverty”.

In India, slums have come to stay in our urban life. Landless farmers from the villages, the unemployed from all over the country – from small villages and towns – come to large metropolitan cities in search of work, hoping to earn their livelihood in these huge cities.

Migrant labour, especially the young girls and women, are forced to eke out a living by working as part-time domestic labour, without any opportunity of improving their socio-economic conditions.

Our girls are taught vocational skills like computers, stitching, beauty training, Free tuition for children , spoken English and Painting Workshops, all free of cost.

Empowering women is a critical factor in freeing millions of people who are caught up in the cycle of poverty and hunger. By providing women and the girl child, an access to economic and educational opportunities, as well as the autonomy needed to take advantage of such opportunities, the Indian Council of Poverty Alleviation(ICPA) are trying to help them overcome a major obstacle in poverty eradication.

ICPA and AFAL provide access to formal education to remove barriers that the girl child and women experience in participating in education, training in vocational skills and employment, including institutional barriers and barriers of conservative attitudes.

The Womens Empowerment Centre was inaugrated in 1977 by Founder-President Ajeet Caur and runs successfully without any grants from any source, it is run directly from the personal earnings of Ajeet and Arpana Caur.

We also provide women and the girl child access to skill by giving them training facilities for facilitating.
