Change begins with people who decide not to look away.

Every woman who learns a skill, earns her first income, returns to mentor another learner, or opens the doors to her own business has someone standing beside her.

Sometimes that is a CSR partner.

02

Sometimes it is a volunteer.

03

Sometimes it is a donor.

04

Sometimes it is simply someone who chose to care.

There are many ways to become part of the Apni Kutir journey. We'd love to welcome you.

Calcutta Foundation livelihood programme

Make Giving a Habit

Small acts of generosity become someone's new beginning.

Not every contribution changes the world overnight.

Some buy a sewing machine.
Some help a woman attend training without worrying about transport.
Some support healthcare sessions, learning materials, or community programmes.

Together, they create opportunities that last far beyond the day they are given.

Whether you choose to give once or support us regularly, your contribution helps build pathways towards financial independence, dignity and hope.

Visit an Apni Kutir

Some stories are best understood in person.

The impact of Apni Kutir cannot be measured only through reports and numbers.

It lives inside classrooms where women practise new skills. In conversations that continue long after training ends. In the confidence that slowly replaces hesitation.

We welcome individuals, partners, institutions and supporters to visit our centres, meet our learners and experience the journey firsthand.

There is nothing more powerful than seeing transformation as it happens.

Become a Volunteer

Become an Individual Donor

Invest in One Woman's Journey.

Behind every graduation certificate is months of determination.

Behind every income earned is someone who decided to believe in herself.

As an individual donor, you become part of that journey.

Your support helps create access to learning, mentorship, healthcare, community support and opportunities that continue long after the training ends.

No contribution is too small when it becomes part of someone's future.
