Empowering girls and women in rural India
CherYsh (Est. 2011) is a dedicated non-governmental organization committed to empowering girls and women in rural India.
These often-overlooked areas are the heart of our mission — to change lives by providing education and job opportunities. Our approach to educate girls and empower women in rural India is built on programs around two principles: learning and livelihood.
