Unnayan has adopted Village Uttardhauna in district Lucknow to bring it up as a model village in terms of an empowered women community. While it has been an achievement of the village to bring about high enrolment in the 6-14 age group of children, most of the women of 200 and odd families of the village remain unaware and ?unable to read and write. Unnayan has intervened to bring about positive change in the scenario to make the women of the village empowered through improved health, education and nutrition. To achieve this aim, we are focussing on key issues - women education, healthcare, hygiene, nutrition, skill development and formation of self-help groups. Apart from making them aware of the necessity of these basic amenities of a dignified human life, regular adult schools and health camps are being organised.
