Gender Inclusion & Skill Development
Empowering women and marginalized communities through entrepreneurship, vocational training, and sustainable livelihoods across India.
Entrepreneurship at the Grassroots
Entrepreneurship development plays a vital role in driving economic growth, generating employment opportunities, and fostering innovation. By nurturing entrepreneurial skills, individuals are empowered to turn ideas into viable enterprises, contribute to local economies, and solve community-specific problems with sustainable solutions.
The Ubantu Foundation has collaborated with reputed CSR players to establish livelihood centres for building capacities of the youth and women from the marginalized sections of society in Goa, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
The Samanvita Program
"Samanvita" — a Sanskrit word meaning inclusion and women empowerment — was launched by Shri Shripad Naik, Hon'ble Minister of State for AYUSH, Government of India. The success of the pilot project has given a ray of hope to SHGs in Goa and other states.
