Reliance Foundation and Estée Lauder partner to empower one million girls in India

Reliance Foundation and The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation have launched a multi-year partnership to empower one million girls and young women across India. The initiative targets individuals aged 14 to 20 in both rural and urban communities.

Developed in collaboration with the non-profit organization Girl Effect, the program will focus on building life skills, leadership, and decision-making abilities. It also aims to strengthen digital and financial literacy while providing guidance on educational courses, training, and livelihood pathways to help participants make informed decisions about their futures.

The program will initially launch in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, with plans for future expansion throughout the country. The initiative will utilize a combination of in-person and digital training supported by local implementation partners.
