Since 1996, the Adani Foundation has dedicated itself to women’s empowerment by launching several initiatives targeted at different stages of a woman’s life, including infancy, adolescence, youth, middle age, and old age.

Commitment To Self-Reliance And Development

By focusing on key areas such as health, education, sustainable livelihoods, and infrastructure development, the Foundation aims to foster women’s independence and enable them to make meaningful choices for themselves and their families.
