Who we are

At DiDi's we change LIVES! Our DiDi's model advocates transformational change - by equipping our girls & women with life skills - which help them become emotionally and financially independent. We empower our girls with critical thinking skills, much need to question and bravely confront societal norms like patriarchy and gender discrimination. DiDi’s is an entity under the umbrella organization Sisters in Solidarity (SiS). SiS is a social enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was founded on September 25th 2008. It is run ‘by women� ‘for women�towards strengthening their collaborative efforts to fight poverty, poor quality of life and low self-esteem among women. DiDi’s is an organization that focuses on hands-on vocational training and empowerment of underserved, marginalized and destitute women from extremely low-income groups. We started off with 10 women are now up to around 65 women, with a mission to grow this number every year, going forward.

We provide women and young girls the skills, dexterity, determination and internal tools that are required to master an area of their choice. So far our areas of skilling are- training in cooking, tailoring and driving. We work with women to build high confidence levels, gumption and a strong sense of self in them, through ongoing interactive empowerment workshops conducted by us. We believe and consider this to be an extremely important tool that enables positive and successful life outcomes, both in terms of their professional and personal life skills and learning’s.

Our workshops help women develop an inner strength that takes them along way and helps then successfully deal with social and operations issues that crop up in their work place as well as their communities.
