empowering women, enriching communities
In a world where gender equality remains an ongoing pursuit, there are some individuals who take it upon themselves to create a positive change.
Dr. Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, the Honourable Minister for Information Technology & Digital Services Tamilnadu, is one such visionary who carries an ardent resolve to uplift and enrich women from economically and socially disadvantaged communities.
Carrying an empathetic understanding of the struggles and personal barriers faced by these women, he felt the need for a platform that will open new doors for them to take sure-footed steps towards entrepreneurial success and financial independence.
Gives wings to dreams and aspirations
Vaan is the manifestation of PTR's dream of telling women from marginalized communities - "Embrace your skills, spread your wings & soar high, and let your dreams paint the sky! We will support and stand with you every step of the way." Acting as a catalyst for change since June 2022, Vaan empowers women from socially and economically backward sections, by providing them the opportunities, resources, and hands-on support, to grow and thrive at their own pace.
In addition to skill development, Team Vaan equips them with sustainable income generating capabilities. This eventually creates a butterfly effect, successfully breaking the cycle of poverty and inequality. Offering training programs, mentorship, and entrepreneurship opportunities, our work extends beyond economic empowerment for the women who deserve utmost support. We also nurture and support their personal growth, self-esteem, and mental health, with a holistic approach.
To create a world where women from marginalized communities not only enjoy equal opportunities, but also thrive with confidence, dignity, and financial independence.
Vaan aims to break the cycle of poverty and inequality by fostering entrepreneurship, skill development, and out of the box creative thinking in women from socially and economically backward sections. Working with like minded people, we are aiming to build a more inclusive and equitable society.
