The Womens’ Program

The Mahila Mandals

As the cornerstone of CORD's development approach, Mahila Mandals are dynamic women's collectives that drive transformation. These groups empower women financially, socially, and politically—creating ripple effects that strengthen entire communities through strengthened decision-making and leadership.

What We Do- CORDUSA Women’s Mentorship Program

Our volunteers are strong women who are driven to help women in the community that are struggling to find a way in life. They meet and discuss topics that are decided by the women themselves, with members driving the agenda and discussions. While experienced facilitators can suggest initial topics like resume crafting, professional networking, career development, and personal wellness, the heart of CORDUSA's model lies in participant-led dialogue. Expert speakers from partner organizations join to share insights and facilitate meaningful discussions, always keeping women's voices and needs at the center.
