At Janhit Foundation, women's independence is a core priority. We believe in empowering underprivileged women by providing not just basic comforts, but also the knowledge, resources, and support they need to recognize their own value and contribute equally to society. As the world moves toward greater gender equality, we are committed to dismantling restrictive norms and creating pathways for women's autonomy, health, and dignity.

(iii) Psychological support
(iv) Education and skill guidance
(v) Social sector advocacy

4. Our Journey & Leadership
Janhit Foundation began as a small initiative and has grown into an established organization operating from a two-story office with a dedicated team of 25+ full-time staff.
In 2008, following the sudden passing of our founding Director, Shri Anil Rana, the organization has been ably led by Ms. Anita Rana. Under her guidance, our commitment to women’s empowerment has deepened, reflected in both our community programs and our organizational ethos.

Our Mission Moving Forward
We continue to work toward a world where:
- Every woman has access to health knowledge and sanitary resources.
- No woman suffers in silence—help is just a phone call away.
- Women are educated, economically engaged, and empowered to lead change in their communities.
