📚 Our Shared Mission

Together, Lemonade with Ice and Nari Samata Manch are launching joint initiatives that focus on:

• Access to Education for underprivileged girls across urban and rural Pune.

• STEM Empowerment Programs, equipping girls with digital literacy, coding, and science-based learning.

• Entrepreneurship and Innovation Workshops, helping girls dream beyond traditional roles and turn ideas into action.

• Leadership and Life Skills Training that builds confidence, critical thinking, and communication skills.

• Health and Hygiene Awareness, addressing key social challenges that affect girls’ education and wellbeing.

👧 Impact at the Grassroots Level

This partnership enables local girls from marginalized communities to access resources and opportunities that can change the trajectory of their lives. With Nari Samata Manch’s grassroots expertise and deep community connections, and Lemonade with Ice’s global mentorship and educational programming, we are:

✅ Supporting school enrollment and retention for girls in vulnerable communities.
✅ Introducing innovation labs and digital classrooms in local schools and learning centers.
✅ Hosting EmpowerHER India events to spark confidence and curiosity.
✅ Providing educational supplies, scholarships, and mentorship to girls who show passion and promise.
✅ Creating a supportive ecosystem of role models, where girls can be inspired by strong women leading in various fields.

🌟 Why This Partnership Matters

India has one of the largest populations of school-aged girls in the world, yet many face barriers to education due to poverty, gender discrimination, early marriage, or lack of access. Our partnership is closing the gap—one girl, one classroom, and one dream at a time.

“We believe that education is the most powerful tool we can give a girl. Together with Nari Samata Manch, we are not just changing lives—we are building the future of India.”
— Ice Venkatesh, Founder, Lemonade with Ice
