Founded in 2019, Aarine Foundation is a ground-level nonprofit working across five districts of Maharashtra—Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Palghar, and tribal belts.
Our name, Aarine, means “mountain strength,” symbolizing resilience and dignity. We place women at the hub of every initiative.
From education and digital literacy to health, rights, and livelihoods, our programs are designed to break cycles of poverty by empowering vulnerable women, single mothers and widows to become independent earners.
Our approach is simple yet powerful: when women prosper, families flourish. Prosperity is not charity—it is empowerment.
