When Women Lead, Nature Heals – PSG’s Environmental Shakti

Women’s Empowerment for Environmental Change

The Women’s Empowerment Division of PSG seeks to build a more environmentally conscious society by empowering women with eco-awareness and responsibility. Women are the foundation of every home, and by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to make environmentally friendly choices, we are taking significant steps toward transforming every home into a Green Home.

Through the active engagement of women’s organizations and collectives, we can inspire and mobilize a powerful movement for environmental protection. Their collective actions will help drive and amplify environmental programs and campaigns, creating a lasting impact on both the community and the environment.

Scope of Work

• Individual Households: Empowering women to lead sustainable lifestyles at home.
• Women’s Organizations and Community Groups: Collaborating with formal and informal women’s groups to spread eco-conscious messages.
• Like-minded Women’s Collectives: Building a network of women advocating for environmental change.
• Women’s Educational Institutions: Engaging with schools, colleges, and universities to educate young women on sustainability.
• Self-Help Groups (SHGs): Providing resources and support to SHGs focused on environmental conservation.

Action Plan

Building a Strong Network of Women’s Organizations (Nari Shakti)

Compile a list of women’s organizations, including NGOs and community groups, to create a collective force for environmental action.

Environmental Awareness Programs

Spread awareness through targeted outreach programs, workshops, and campaigns designed specifically for women.

Promoting Green Homes

Encourage women to adopt sustainable practices at home, such as water and energy conservation, waste segregation, and creating kitchen gardens, thereby making every home a Green Home.

Encouraging Sustainable Waste Management

Introduce practical solutions like Magic Buckets (kitchen compost bins) for organic waste disposal, and educate women on waste segregation and responsible management.

Eco-Friendly Lifestyle Education

Equip women with the knowledge and tools to make eco-conscious decisions in their daily lives, such as promoting terrace gardening and sustainable living practices.

Impact on Society

With women at the heart of every home, empowering them to be environmental guardians will create a ripple effect, leading to a more sustainable, aware, and eco-friendly society. From saving water and energy to creating small home gardens, these actions may seem small but collectively form the foundation for a greener, more responsible world.
