Who we are
Hamari Silai Foundation (HSF) is a non-profit organisation registered under the B.P.T Act of 1950. It was founded by three of us – Mohan Rathod, Maruti Chauhan and Dhanaraj Chauhan – on February 15, 2020, with the aim of creating a better, more equitable world for women than the one our mothers inhabited.

What We do
Our efforts are aimed at lifting women out of poverty and, thereby, catalysing change in low-income communities like the ones we grew up in.
Our programme helps women to:
01.
Earn a steady income
02.
Earn self respect as well as the respect of their family members as they contribute to the household income
03.
Help others. The benefits of HSF workshops ripple through the community as empowered women turn into role models for others
How we do it
HSF centres currently operate in Mumbai in Maharashtra, and in Yadgir, Karnataka.
We believe the wheel of social change, represented in our logo, will start to turn through interventions aimed at the capacity and confidence building of women. To this end, our Triple E model includes strategies focused on education, experiences and the exploration of new, sustainable opportunities to earn a living.
TOGETHER, WE CAN DO MORE
By supporting our organisation, you will help women from disadvantaged backgrounds to establish a source of income, enhance their skills and build a supportive sisterhood.
