New Delhi, Feb 20 (NationPress) The Adani Foundation has launched its ‘Butterfly Effect’ initiative aimed at empowering women throughout their lives.
The ‘Butterfly Effect’ represents a transformative model that caters to the changing requirements of women at every life stage.
This framework was introduced during the first national-level roundtable consultation held on Wednesday in New Delhi, in anticipation of the upcoming International Women’s Day on March 8.
The roundtable acted as a significant platform to involve stakeholders and gather strategic insights on how to improve the reach and effectiveness of women-focused initiatives. It also sought to identify new partnerships to amplify the socioeconomic empowerment of women across all age demographics in India.
According to Dr Abhishek Lakhtakia, Chief Executive Officer of the Adani Foundation, “Our programs are curated to ensure fair access to opportunities, fostering growth, well-being, and empowerment at every stage of a woman’s journey.”
He further remarked, “This inaugural roundtable will undoubtedly act as a catalyst for advancing women's empowerment and accelerating positive results.”
Since 1996, the Adani Foundation has been committed to uplifting women for nearly three decades, implementing various targeted initiatives to address the specific needs of women at different life stages.
From infancy through adolescence, young adulthood, middle age, and senior years, the Foundation is dedicated to providing ongoing support to women, ensuring they have the guidance and opportunities necessary to improve their socioeconomic standing.
Its comprehensive commitment to women’s empowerment spans multiple dimensions.
The objective is to foster inter-generational improvements, benefiting women throughout their life journey from infancy to old age.
Rather than focusing solely on charitable distributions, the emphasis is on education, nutrition, health security, skill development, and sustainable outcomes through program designs that promote self-reliance, agency, and autonomy.
With a strong emphasis on facilitating economic activities, the Foundation is driving transformation for women via health, education, sustainable livelihoods, and infrastructure projects that empower them to make impactful choices for themselves and their families.
The 'Butterfly Effect' initiative encapsulates this all-encompassing approach by placing women at the heart of all interventions.
This framework has been crafted to assist women at various stages, fostering their growth, self-sufficiency, and overall well-being.
At the event, the Adani Foundation also launched its ‘Supporting Her Exponential Empowerment (S.H.E.)’ Report, a meticulously compiled document that showcases the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to empowering women at every stage of their lives.
This report provides an in-depth look at the Foundation's methodology, emphasizing the holistic nature of its initiatives and how they are contributing to empowering women nationwide.
During the event, Lakhtakia highlighted the need for all stakeholders to unite and create the right scale for interventions at each life phase.
Through this transformative strategy, the Foundation continues to foster ‘inclusive’, ‘sustainable’, and ‘transformative’ changes in the lives of women it supports.
To date, the Foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 2 million girls and women through its dedicated initiatives.
