About UMEED
UMEED dismantles barriers to female self-reliance by addressing the individual, family, and institutional ecosystem through
integrated programs like FirstLeap Career readiness & Empowerment Program, Break-the-Barrier Program, and Sahyog Train-the
Trainer Program. We empower women with agency while transforming parental mindsets and educator capacity to turn
traditional ‘gatekeeping’ into a launchpad for lifelong personal, social, and financial independence. Through these programs,
UMEED actively advances SDGs 1, 5, and 8.
By means of our 3-bucket focus on skill building, mindset development and access to exposure, we aim to build the spirit of ‘Voice,
Choice and Agency’ in women who will not only be empowered to take charge of their own lives, but will also become proactive
catalysts of a sustainable continuation of these values to their communities.
