Myna Mahila USA
Myna Mahila USA partners with organizations around the world to provide better health services and opportunities to women from low-income communities.
We are proud to partner with Myna Mahila Foundation to harness the power of research, AI, and grassroots expertise to drive women’s agency through the three pillars of health-seeking behavior, digital literacy and economic empowerment.
MYNA MAHILA FOUNDATION
We empower women to speak about the issues they are most afraid to discuss aloud.
Myna Mahila Foundation envisions a world where at least 25 percent, around 100 million, of women previously excluded from healthcare, paid work, or digital access can now make decisions about their bodies, jobs, and futures - driving social and economic transformation.
The Foundation employs over 1,200 women from urban slums and has reached over 1.5 Million women in the last decade.
Employment
“I am now able to spend money on my children’s education because of Myna. Myna women connected me to scholarship donors and I can afford their coaching classes and save for their future. My husband respects me more now too!”
– Reshma Santosh Mohite, Myna Mahila
Menstrual hygiene
“I get the Myna pads at my door and only for Rs.25, so how much easier can it be for me? Myna women also explain why wearing pads was important, and I once attended their health camp, so I convinced my daughters to use pads, and pads only.”
– Myna customer
Women's networks
“Before I joined Myna Mahila Foundation, I would be scared to even leave my house to go to the market. But the women I have met here have changed my life – they help me realize my self-confidence and stand by me when I need help. I never want to go back home at the end of the day, as I learn I can only hope that we have many more Myna Mahila in the time to come!”
– Noorjaha Shaikh, Myna Mahila
