Empowering Adolescent Girls to Challenge Social Norms and Change Narratives
About us
Milaan Foundation is a social impact organisation, working to impart girls the knowledge, skills, and social environment needed to pursue their aspirations. Established in 2007, Milaan envisions an equal and inclusive world where every girl is educated, healthy and safe. We approach our work with a mission to empower girls by advancing their skills, rights & opportunities and unlocking their voice, choice, and potential. We at Milaan believe in the power of movement building, working closely with the community to challenge the social norms that reinforce gender inequality and to re-write the narratives that shape the day-to-day lives of women and girls, normalising social, economic, and political exclusion. Our projects primarily focus on adolescent girls from marginalised communities of India for whom we promote the continuation of secondary education, prevention of child marriage, prevention of gender-based violence, and adequate health and well-being. We enable our goals through the use of technology, undertaking life skills-based leadership pedagogy, offering one on one mentoring support, and promoting community participation. We measure the impact of our work through robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks and have also been independently evaluated by scholars from UC Berkeley and other social impact consultancies. With its head office In Gurugram, Haryana Milaan has, in the last 14 years, worked with over 50,000 children, especially adolescent girls, creating a thriving network of change agents in 3 states of India - Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. Through various state and national platforms, Milaan has continued to create safe spaces for youth engagement and development.

Yesterday, the Norec team, alongside the Girl Icon Program hosted a special event dedicated to celebrating and uplifting girls. We were honoured to have Dr Archana Sharma join us as our guest speaker, sharing invaluable insights on mindfulness and meditation. We were also thrilled to welcome Dr Pooja Mehta, whose motivational talk inspired everyone to pursue their dreams with dedication and hard work. We proudly recognized three incredible Girl Icons for their outstanding contributions to their communities! The event concluded with a powerful street play performed by the Mayaar team from The Bhopal School of Social Sciences , raising awareness about violence and teaching everyone how to report it. This is just the beginning—we will keep empowering girls to believe in themselves and build a better tomorrow for all! #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild #GirlIconProgram #Empowerment #Mindfulness #Inspiration #CommunityImpact Ranjana Tiwari Abha Sharma

Last week, our amazing Girl Icon Alumni took part in an inspiring webinar hosted by SHEROES and Glow & Lovely Careers on "GenAI Powered Equity: What is Gen AI & How It Can Boost Your Career." The session was all about Generative AI – a cutting-edge technology that’s changing the way we work and opening up so many new career opportunities! From learning how to improve their skills to exploring brand-new career paths, the girls discovered how Gen AI can be a powerful tool for their professional journey. We can’t wait to see how this knowledge helps them grow their careers and make a big impact in their fields! The future is bright, and these girls are ready to take it on with confidence! #GenAI #GirlPower #CareerGrowth #BrightFutures #TechForChange #MilaanFoundation #EmpowerGirls #GirlsInTech
