The project is about empowering women as well as creating women leaders at the grassroots level through Women Leadership Schools (WLS), that will be act as a model for strengthening the voice of women in local development. These schools will bridge the information deficit women faces and improve access of rural women to their government guaranteed rights and entitlement programs, both democratically and financially. In addition, the project will empower women leaders to facilitate and monitor compliance of these programs in their villages.
