Strength, Dignity & Independence
Empowering women and girls through sustainable livelihoods, health facilities, and sports support to help them build confident, self-reliant futures.
Sewing Machines for Women
On International Women's Day 2026, Basanti Memorial Charitable Trust gave two sewing machines to women from economically weaker sections, chosen for their need and willingness to earn through self-employment.
The machines offer a sustainable livelihood, confidence and dignity. We believe that when a woman becomes self-reliant, her whole family grows stronger, and we pledge to continue such initiatives.
Sanitary Napkin Vending Machines in Girls' Schools
Basanti Memorial Charitable Trust marked International Women's Day 2026 by installing sanitary napkin vending machines with incinerators in three girls' schools: Chhaigharia Thakur Haridas Balika Vidyalaya, Naraharipur Sarada Charan High School and Ganrapota Girls' High School.
They give adolescent girls easy access to sanitary products and safe disposal, encouraging menstrual hygiene, dignity and regular school attendance.
Sports Support for Girl Footballers
We supported the girl trainees of G.G. Dishary Football Academy, Ganrapota, Bongaon, with footballs, football shoes, agility ladders and other training equipment.
Many of these young players come from economically weaker families and have great enthusiasm but little access to proper tools. We believe talent exists in every corner of society and needs only the right support to flourish.
