Milaan Foundation is a social impact organization working to impart girls’ the knowledge, skills, and social environment needed to pursue their aspirations. Established in 2007 Milaan envisions an equal and inclusive world where every girl is educated, healthy and safe. We approach our work with a mission to empower girls to stand up for themselves, by advancing their skills, rights & opportunities and unlocking their voice, choice, and power. We at Milaan believe in the power of movement building, working closely with the community to challenge the social norms that reinforce gender inequality and to re-write the narratives that shape the day-to-day lives of women and girls, normalizing social, economic, and political exclusion. Our projects primarily focus on adolescent girls from marginalized communities of India for whom we promote the continuation of secondary education, prevention of child marriage, prevention of gender-based violence, and adequate health and well-being. We enable our goals through the use of technology, undertaking life skills-based leadership pedagogy, offering one on one mentoring support, and promoting community participation. We measure the impact of our work through robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks and have also been independently evaluated by scholars from UC Berkeley and other social impact consultancies. With its head office In Gurugram, Haryana Milaan has, in the last 14 years, worked with over 45,000 children, especially adolescent girls, creating a thriving network of change agents in 3 states of India- Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. Through various state and national platforms, Milaan has continued to create safe spaces for youth engagement and development.
