My role is primarily that of a facilitator for the women of IVillage. I encourage personality development and support learning and skill acquisition through well defined methods and process. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see these women evolve into independent and confident individuals.

Together as a team we ensure quality production in adherence to promised standards and timelines.

IVillage is a social organisation with a clear vision of supporting women in the rural areas so that they can be economically independent and get the chance to educate their children. Working in IVillage gives us immense opportunities to learn new skills and train new talent who have a passion to work in our sector. The biggest responsibility is being responsible towards the life of others and creating job opportunities for them.

As opposed to the corporate sector, IVillage has not only given me tremendous growth and learning but also given me the chance to give back to society. I am proud to be working here.

Working with IVillage helps me fulfill not just my daily needs but also support the rural woman in the village, so that they don’t have to depend on others, and can fulfill their daily needs themselves.

I have been working with IVillage for 15 years now in training girls for different kinds of embroidery I am happy working here and my home is also nearby so I don’t have to go far away from home to work.

It gives me a sense of achievement when I see the ladies that we train become financially independent and capable to take care of themselves.

IVillage is a platform for rural girls and women empowerment. We want them to be Socially Economically empowered, Self dependent and Successful.

I am proud to be associated with IVilllage, through which we are trying to help them avail the best opportunities for development in their neighborhood and in the process make them self dependent, successful, aware of the world and most importantly, become Socially and Economically empowered.

I have always been very passionate about art and design and seek opportunities to use my best creative skills. IVillage has provided me a platform not only to explore my creativity but also bring a little change in the society by uplifting the rural households.

Being a part of IVillage helps me to understand the traditional artforms and gives a chance to transform them with a modern contemporary twist.

I have learnt and developed new skill sets that has helped me evolve not only as an individual but also as a great team member. Cheers to my journey at IVillage!

I always had a knack for communicating ideas creatively and effectively, whether in the form of design or writing, and I wanted to put my skills to good use. I came across IVillage and instantly connected with their vision. Their drive towards uplifting the community has always inspired me, and I feel proud to be useful to their cause.

I am working with IVillage since 15 years. It gives me pleasure to work here and a feeling of satisfaction when I train the girls. I am also in charge of the store at our production center. I am happy that not only am I able to contribute to my family income and take care of my family by myself, I also help other women do the same for themselves.

It has been an immensely rewarding experience to work at the grassroots level with rural women to see them break the shackles of patriarchy and evolve into empowered, socially and economically independent individuals is perhaps the biggest achievement.

With the team’s shared passion for social entrepreneurship, we truly live our motto of ‘Taking the village to the world’.

I am delighted to work at IVillage as I am able to help to the rural women working here and provide them employment near their homes so they don’t have to go far away. In this way they can take care of their financial needs as well as their families. I have learnt many new things at IVillage and I am happy to be a part of it.

I enjoy working at IVillage because it feels like home. Everyone is very helpful and we all work like one family. I have learnt a lot here which has helped me to be a better person in life.

I am happy to work here at IVillage in the handicraft section. I also train the new trainees. I have learnt a lot here and today I am able to help my family financially. I am happy to help the rural women become independent and earn for themselves.
