Rudra Women Empowerment Center
In the heart of Ahmedabad’s bustling slums, the Rudra Women Empowerment Center emerged in 1995, fueled by Gramshree’s mission of empowering women. It became a haven, breathing life into dreams, offering training, employment, and a spark of hope through handicrafts. Breaking chains of confinement, it nurtured holistic development, providing not just economic self-sufficiency but also friendship, education, and love. Rudra Center, where every moment spent became a stepping stone towards a brighter future.
Ranip Center
For 18 years, Ranip has been a beacon of hope for local women artisans in Ahmedabad. More than just a workplace, it’s a community that cares deeply. Gramshree goes above and beyond, providing awareness programs, health services, food security, education support, exposure visits, and a sari library. Ranip is where dreams are nurtured, talents honed, and lives transformed—a sanctuary where voices are heard, skills valued, and spirits soar.
Ludiya Center
In the heartland of Kutch, the Ludiya Center, part of Gramshree’s Rudra Women Empowerment Center, tells a vibrant tale of artistry and empowerment. Empowering 75 talented women, it crafts exquisite products reflecting the essence of Kutch’s heritage. What sets it apart is trust in the women’s abilities, giving them autonomy in product development. Each creation is a testament to their boundless creativity and resilience. Celebrate their remarkable story and contribute to their economic empowerment.
Patan Weaving Center (Mashru Revival and Patola Training Project)
