Mumbai, the city of dreams, is home to millions of women whose aspirations light up its vibrant skyline. At Asif Jahan Foundation, we are committed to empowering women across Mumbai to rise as leaders, innovators, and change-makers. From the bustling streets of Dharavi to the high-rises of Bandra, our mission is to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to achieve her fullest potential and contribute to the city’s progress.
We envision a Mumbai where every woman, regardless of her background, has access to education, skills, and opportunities that enable her to thrive. By focusing on urban-specific challenges, Asif Jahan Foundation is bridging gaps, breaking barriers, and building a stronger, more inclusive Mumbai.
In the diverse neighborhoods of Mumbai, we are nurturing women to take charge of their communities and lead the way for social transformation.
Our Approach:
- Inclusive Urban Planning: Engaging women in local decision-making processes to address issues like housing, sanitation, and public safety.
- Entrepreneurship in Urban Mumbai: Training women in business skills, connecting them with urban markets, and supporting startups in industries like fashion, food, and technology.
- Access to Public Resources: Helping women in Mumbai access government schemes, legal rights, and financial services tailored to urban needs.
In a fast-paced city like Mumbai, digital literacy is key to empowerment. Asif Jahan Foundation is equipping women with the tools to thrive in a connected world.

Ayesha, a tailor from Dharavi, joined Asif Jahan Foundation’s digital literacy program. With her newfound skills, she created an online boutique that now ships across India. Today, Ayesha employs five other women from her community, proving that a little support can go a long way.
Sneha, a homemaker from Andheri, participated in Asif Jahan Foundation’s urban leadership training. Inspired by the program, she now leads a local initiative to improve public safety for women in her area, engaging local authorities and neighbors in collaborative solutions.
