ABOUT US

Women's Integrated and Synergistic Empowerment is a non profit company founded in March 2017 to promote women's collectives with the aim of enhancing their own capabilities to make informed choices and gain access to financial and other resources. WISE has been promoted by Chaitanya an organisation based out of Maharashtra, founded in 1991 with the intent to promote rural tribal women as community leaders of strong sustainable and self reliant institutions enabling access to finance and gender equity. Its program consists of promoting self help groups, intimate grassroots based social clusters and area specific federations to alleviate poverty and empower women.
