About I-Saksham Education and Learning Foundation
"Voice and Choice for Every Woman | Building Young Women as Leaders of Change"
i-Saksham is a grassroots nonprofit transforming leadership opportunities for young women from the most marginalized communities, esp. In Bihar. Founded in 2015, we nurture confident, capable, and purpose-driven women leaders ('Edu-Leaders') through a 2-year experiential fellowship grounded in education, gender equity, and community leadership.
What We Do:
Through the "Edu-Leader Fellowship", we support young rural women to:
>"Claim their voice" by developing confidence, agency, and life skills.
>"Create change" in families and communities by counselling and showcasing successes.
>"Lead transformation" by promoting educational inclusion and civic participation
>"Emerge as role models" by pursuing aspirations of their choice..
Our Impact:
>1200+ Edu-Leaders trained since inception across 5 districts (Begusarai, Gaya, Jamui, Munger, Muzaffarpur)
>25,000+ children & adolescents reached through school and community engagement
>96% of families now trust their daughters’ decisions (vs 32% at entry)
>70%+ alumni pursuing higher education or working in social/govt sectors (vs <12% Bihar avg.)
Partnerships:
We work with:
>Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (Jeevika)
>Bihar Development Collective, local federations & schools
>Platforms like The/Nudge Accelerator, IIM-B Incubation, and Skill Innovation Initiative
