ABOUT AMERICAN INDIA FOUNDATION TRUST

The American India Foundation Trust (AIF) is committed to improving the lives of India’s underprivileged,  with a special focus on women, children, and youth. The Foundation does this through high-impact  interventions in education, health, and livelihoods because poverty is multidimensional.

Leveraging technology to  provide financial and market linkages, knowledge, skills, and dignified work opportunities, the program helps  the communities secure jobs, manage enterprises, and make a respectable living.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The incumbent would be responsible to support the Udyamini-Rural Women Entrepreneurship Program  (RWEP), where AIF is the prime applicant and will act as an intermediary to a multi-agency coalition called as  Udyamini-Rural Women Entrepreneurship Program (RWEP) comprising of partner organizations namely,  AIFT, Delhi; Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF), New Delhi; Centre for Education and Communication  (CEC), New Delhi; The GOAT Trust, Lucknow; Switch ON Foundation, Kolkata and Selco Foundation,  Bengaluru. The udyamini-RWEP is working towards addressing the mammoth problem of low Female Labor  Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) in India. Working in a Collaborative with other groups of similar values,  interests, and goals will allow AIF and Udyamini members to combine their resources and become more  powerful than when they each work alone and therefore increase their collective potential for success. AIF  further believes that a coalition can bring more expertise and resources to bear on complex issues, where the  technical or personnel resources of any one organization would not be sufficient.
