Why Your
Contribution Matters?
Across India, millions of women remain financially dependent due to a lack of access to practical, affordable, and skill-based education. In Tier 2, Tier 3, and rural areas, geographic limitations, societal restrictions, and digital illiteracy widen this gap. While government programs and NGO initiatives exist, most are inaccessible, unsustainable, or not focused on economically productive outcomes. At eSaheli Mahila Vikas Foundation (EMVF), we’ve built a digital-first, scalable model to directly address these challenges — and your support helps take this impact to the next level.
Our mission is to enable financial independence among women through free skill education, and our flagship initiative — the eSaheli Saksham Card — does just that. With your funding, underprivileged women can gain access to certified, practical online courses that teach income-generating skills like makeup, salon services, hair styling, mehendi, and more. Each woman who receives a Saksham Card, gains not just education, but the tools to start earning from home, reclaim agency over her life, and uplift her family economically and emotionally.
How the Funding is Used?
90:10 Transparent Model
At EMVF, we follow a simple, high-impact funding structure to ensure that maximum value reaches the beneficiaries. 90% of every donation goes directly into purchasing Saksham Cards from our implementation partner REPL. Each card is used by a woman to redeem a certified course on the eSaheli platform. Whether she chooses one long course worth ₹999 or two short courses worth ₹499 each, the focus remains on job-readiness, earning potential, and self-reliance.
The remaining 10% of the funds are used for operational essentials — such as organizing training and enrolment camps, onboarding women, offering tech support, conducting orientation and convocation events, and maintaining impact reporting systems. This lean approach ensures transparency, speed of deployment, and optimal donor value. We do not use donor funds for marketing, office costs, or salaries.
Unlike many traditional nonprofits, EMVF does not build and operate large physical campuses. Instead, we leverage digital infrastructure, regional language content, and mobile-first delivery to keep our model cost-efficient and scalable. This allows your donation to reach 10x more women for the same cost and enables replicable expansion across India without geographic limitations.

Every contribution helps us reduce the cost barrier that restricts access to opportunity. Instead of investing in physical infrastructure or overhead-heavy models, EMVF deploys your donation directly into the hands of women — by granting digital access to structured, job-ready training through our tech partner Riyaansh Edtech Private Limited.
You fund the training; we ensure it changes lives.

eSaheli Saksham Card & the UN Sustainable Development Goals
At eSaheli Mahila Vikas Foundation, our mission is not only to empower women but to contribute meaningfully to a global movement for sustainable development.
Our core initiative — the eSaheli Saksham Card — is deeply aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a universal framework adopted by 193 countries to address the world’s most pressing challenges by 2030.
The Saksham Card is more than a digital access key to skill development. It is a strategic enabler of three critical SDGs: Gender Equality (Goal 5), Quality Education (Goal 4), and Decent Work & Economic Growth (Goal 8). Here's how:
"Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all"
The courses accessed via the Saksham Card are not generic or theoretical. They are professionally designed, regional-language-based, digitally delivered, and certified. These are practical, job-oriented courses that teach real skills — not only to pass a test but to earn a living.
The flexibility of learning anytime, from anywhere, makes the program accessible to homemakers, school dropouts, and women with no prior digital literacy. The platform includes support systems like walkthrough videos, live assistance, assignments, and a certificate of completion — ensuring inclusive, high-quality learning with real- world relevance.
"Achieve gender equality and empowerall women and girls"
The Saksham Card breaks down barriers that prevent women — especially in rural and underserved areas — from accessing economic opportunities. By offering free access to certified, skill-based courses in beauty, wellness, and creative sectors, the card empowers women to become income earners, entrepreneurs, and confident decision-makers in their homes and communities.
In regions where patriarchal norms and financial dependency limit women’s agency, the ability to learn from home and earn from home is transformational. The Saksham Card enables women to step into the workforce on their own terms — with dignity, flexibility, and a sense of self-worth. This directly supports gender equity in economic participation and fosters more balanced household dynamics.
"Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all"
India has one of the lowest female labor force participation rates among G20 countries — just 23.3% in 2021 (World Bank). The Saksham Card addresses this gap by offering women vocational training that leads to tangible income opportunities, especially in informal sectors where jobs are otherwise inaccessible.
Whether a woman becomes a home-based beauty service provider, a bridal makeup artist, a mehendi freelancer, or a salon assistant, the foundation lays the groundwork for micro-entrepreneurship and job creation. As more women begin contributing economically, local ecosystems thrive, families stabilize financially, and the broader economy becomes more inclusive and resilient.
