About us

Sambhali Trust is a non-profit charitable organisation based in Jodhpur,
India, whose focus is on the development and empowerment of women and girls in
Rajasthan. We provide underprivileged Rajasthani women and girls with an
education in English, Hindi and Maths, as well as training in vocational and
social skills, to support them in developing confidence and self-esteem, and
help them work towards financial independence. 



We specifically work with the Dalit community, who experience discrimination on
a daily basis because of their low standing in India's stratified social
hierarchy or 'caste system'. Dalit women are greatly suppressed due to the
patriarchal nature of this community, and have little or no access to education
They are denied the right to choose their own husband and often face a high
level of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse within their family circle and
community.



Since 2006, we have helped these women break their cycle of poverty and
financial dependence on family members, by teaching them valuable practical
skills. Sambhali Trust gives them a voice and a support network to nurture
their hopes and ambitions, which allows them the freedom to work towards an
individual dream, a priceless gift in their oppressive social and economic
situation.
