Located on the Bal Ashram property, Project Shakti has been inspiring and uplifting an ever-growing population of underprivileged women in Varanasi since its creation in 2009. Serving primarily uneducated young women, the program provides training in a variety of skills such as sewing, tailoring and beauty and grooming. We recently inaugurated the Shakti Beauty School where women have the opportunity to learn various beauty techniques, such as henna, threading, haircutting, manicure/pedicure, and make-up application and design. 

Project Shakti is also provides a beautiful space for local women to gather together as a community and provide support to each other.
