Founder's message
"Sometimes ek zara si koshish — just a small effort — is all it takes to spark something lasting in a young girl's life."
Founded by Rakhee, Ek Zara si Koshish is a grassroots NGO born from a simple but powerful belief: that every young girl deserves the tools to stand tall in the world.
The organisation works at the heart of communities, reaching girls who are often overlooked — teaching them self-defence so they can feel safe, and equipping them with practical life skills so they can one day stand on their own feet. From confidence-building workshops to vocational training, every program is designed with one goal in mind: independence.
Because a girl who knows her strength becomes a woman who shapes her world.
— Rakhee · Founder
