Gurugram (Haryana) [India], November 17: Sukarya, a women-led and women-centric organization dedicated to empowering women, children, and adolescents in underprivileged communities, organized a Certification Ceremony to mark the successful completion of the first phase of its Gender Equality Program, supported by OakNorth under its CSR initiative.
The event was graced by Mr. Varun Tuli from OakNorth, along with Ms. Meera Satpathy, Chairperson of Sukarya, Trustees, team members, and community representatives. Certificates were awarded to adolescent girls who successfully completed three months of intensive training under the program.
Implemented in urban slum communities and government schools in Gurugram, this program empowers adolescent girls aged 10-19 to challenge gender norms, make informed decisions, and become change agents within their communities. Through customized curriculum-based training, certification, and peer-led initiatives, it builds confidence, awareness, and leadership among girls.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Varun Tuli said, "Empowering adolescent girls with knowledge and confidence is key to creating a more equitable society. OakNorth is proud to support Sukarya in building this strong foundation for change."
Ms. Meera Satpathy, Chairperson of Sukarya, shared, "Investing in girls is investing in generations. When one girl learns, she lifts her family, her community, and the world around her."
The certification marks a significant milestone in the program's journey, and Sukarya aims to continue its engagement with new cohorts of girls in Gurugram and beyond, with continued support from OakNorth.
