Adithi

History

Registered in 1988, Adithi is a non-profit women’s organization working for the socioeconomic development and empowerment of resource-poor and resourceless women and girls. We achieve this through awareness generation, leadership development and livelihood and income generating programs in key economic sectors. A secondary goal is to develop replicable models and organizational methods for fostering the same. Adithi is headquartered at Patna, with project areas in different rural and urban areas in the Bihar state and the Jharkhand state. Adithi's efforts directly address child marraige, female infanticide and sex trafficking in India.
