Make Women in Rural India Financially Secure

Dear Supporters,

We are very happy to share how your generous support is helping protect and empower women in rural and tribal areas of southern Rajasthan through our Financial Digital Literacy program.

Recently, in Patiya village, of South Rajasthan, your support changed the life of Rupali, an illiterate woman who had been struggling silently. For six months, she hadn’t received her pension, despite visiting the local center repeatedly with hope.

That’s when Shamsu Devi, one of our dedicated Master Digital Sakhis, stepped in. As part of her doortodoor awareness efforts, she listened to Rupali’s story and guided her to review her financial records. Together, they discovered that the pension had been credited regularly, but was being withdrawn by someone else, without Rupali’s knowledge.

With great courage, Shamsu helped Rupali confront the eMitra operator who had been exploiting her trust. Though the lost money couldn’t be recovered, Rupali gained something even more valuable, the knowledge to protect herself and the strength to speak up. The eMitra operator was forced to shut down his shop and was later found to be committing the same fraud with others as well, sending a strong message that such exploitation will not be tolerated.

Your support made this possible.
Because of you, women like Shamsu are trained and equipped to spread financial awareness, help others safeguard their hardearned money, and build confidence in using digital services safely. Every contribution you make helps create a safer, more informed, and resilient community for rural women.

Thank you for standing with us in this mission

With gratitude,
The Seva Mandir Team
