Gayatri Memorial Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization. It has been founded in 2011, driven by the conviction that every citizen of India should have access to basic education and health care necessities. Moreover, we are focused on promoting self-employment and organization of rural poor. We are concentrated on women empowerment programs and skill training courses. The basic idea behind our work is to organize the poor into SHG (Self Help Groups) groups and make them capable for self-employment. After many years of experience and contribution in various organizations, our team felt the need to form a new group and work under a new identity. The necessity for space and independence, in order to embrace innovative ways that can be beneficial for the rural and urban people that are struggling with poverty, was what made us take this decision. GMF was instigated by a group of engaged professionals with a vision of a better quality of life for everyone. Within a short period of time we have expanded our impact and have provided our services in 3 states, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. We have been working successfully with the nation’s top corporate agencies, such as GAIL (India) Ltd, as well as with various government institutions.
