It’s a proven fact, when girls and women complete their education, confidently decide when to marry, have the agency to access health services, and are equipped to lead change, they shape a brighter future for all.

For more than 35 years, we have been working in regions of India that need us the most – regions that are often remote, resource poor and where patriarchal barriers are deeply pronounced.

We are on a mission.

To catalyze change for millions of girls and women across India. We equip, mobilize, educate, and empower women and girls to achieve gender equality.
We partner with various stakeholders, including local health institutions, schools, communities, and systems at both the state and national level.

We are building a world where every girl, every woman, everywhere,
has the agency to fulfill her potential*.

Girl's Empowerment

C3 ensures that young girls grow up to be self-confident, well-informed, and equipped to make better choices around their well-being and professional progression. To help them achieve this, C3 facilitates the process of growing young girls’ agency, decision-making, and self-esteem, delaying their marriage, staying in school, and developing the digital and financial literacy and livelihood skills required to keep up with a rapidly digitized world.
Know More
Youth Engagement

C3 works to ensure young people have awareness and access to services around health and critical life skills education (which incorporates information and skills on negotiation, leadership, self-confidence, agency-building, nutrition, bullying, substance abuse, mental health, body image, and more). To work towards achieving gender equity that is truly inclusive, we ensure that young boys are sensitized around gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity, building an ecosystem of respect, equality, support, and development.

Reproductive
Health and Rights

C3 ensures that every woman, everywhere, every time is receiving compassionate and respectful maternity care, by training healthcare providers and collaborating with institutions to integrate quality, equity, dignity within the healthcare system. We also design mechanisms to ensure communities are aware of their rights around accessing reproductive health, and that men are involved in conversations and decision-making around family planning.
Know More
Gender Equity

C3 mentors and builds the capacities of grassroots women leaders and collectives to tackle important, gender-sensitive issues, gain confidence and agency, mitigate gender-based discrimination in their communities, and strengthen their voices in decision-making. C3 gathers evidence on the various issues that impact the day-to-day lives of women and leverages it for designing women-centric programs.
Know More

Gender equality is at the core of what we do. The process of achieving gender equality requires fundamental, systemic changes that can be sustained over a long period of time, and translate into lasting socio-economic impact. We work closely stakeholders associated with systems, from local health institutions and service providers, schools, teachers and principals, and other diverse stakeholders.

With changing times and the evolving definition of ‘literacy’, digital literacy has become a crucial aspect of education that every girl and woman in India has the right to access.

We have begun taking the steps to bridge the digital divide, and it’s making a difference.
