Women's Day Celebration - Empower Her 2025
On 16th March 2025, the Rotaract Club of Bengaluru United, in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of MCC and the Rotaract Club of Medikardia, came together to host a special Women’s Day celebration for a group of hardworking women from a local cooperative society. These women, who earn their livelihoods through weekly wages by working as maids, cooks, or in other household jobs, were the heart of this event. The celebration focused on encouraging them to save money, educate their children, and recognize the power and value they bring to their families. They were empowered through heartfelt conversations that acknowledged their consistent efforts and sacrifices, and they were reminded of their worth and the critical role they play in society.
The event also featured informative and engaging sessions on menstrual hygiene, water and sanitation, basic cleanliness, first aid, and disease prevention—ensuring the women were equipped with essential health and wellness knowledge. One of the major highlights was the encouragement for financial planning—emphasizing the importance of saving money, no matter how small the income, in order to be prepared for emergencies.
Apart from the awareness sessions, the event was filled with fun and laughter. We conducted a variety of games such as Pictionary, a balloon-passing game, and a blindfold challenge, which saw enthusiastic participation and lots of cheerful moments. Participants were gifted goodies, and a hearty lunch was served, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The women even sang songs and celebrated Women's Day with joy and pride. The entire day was a vibrant blend of empowerment, education, and entertainment—leaving behind memories of connection, gratitude, and strength.
