Empowering Dreams, One Life at a Time

Through skill training, education, and community support, Chaah is helping underprivileged women and children break the cycle of poverty and step into a future filled with dignity, opportunity, and hope.

Empowering Through Education

We offer free tuition, school supplies, and mentoring programs to support the academic journey of underprivileged children, opening doors to a brighter future.

Women-Led Exhibits

We organise or participate in exhibitions where we showcase products made by local women and hence generate revenue.

Love, Dignity & Support

We stand with those in need—offering emotional support, shelter, care packages, and a helping hand during times of crisis. Because everyone deserves compassion.

About Us

Founded in 2012 by Mrs. Vandana Maheshwari in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Chaah is a dedicated Non-Governmental Organization committed to empowering women and fostering their independence. Inspired by the belief that “Educated hands, empowered home,” our mission is to provide women with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to achieve financial stability and take care of their families with confidence.

At Chaah, we believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to stand on her own feet, contribute meaningfully to her household, and lead a life of dignity. Through various training programs, skill development initiatives, and community outreach, we aim to create a supportive environment where women can realize their full potential.

Our vision is a society where women are empowered through education and skill, leading to stronger families and a more inclusive community. With unwavering dedication, Chaah continues to work towards building a brighter future for women and their families in Aligarh and beyond.
