Jodhpur, the second largest city in Rajasthan, rests in western India surrounded by the Thar Desert, nomadic tribes, and poverty. Widows, abandonened wives, and women of the Dalit caste and other underprivileged communities are significantly affected by impoverishment, which combined with traditional gender roles, cultural and religious beliefs, and superstition prevents these women from earning an income and becoming financially self-sufficient.

A solution:
Sambhali Trust, a grass root effort, empowers women through providing education and economic opportunities.

It is our aim to help these women and girls to gain independence, self-esteem and unity among each other.
