The first step to empower these women is to train them in various skills such as book keeping, tailoring, making masala powders etc. so that they can independently work with anyone and will have ample job opportunities.
The second important step is to help them set up their own businesses by providing the initial support such as buying buffaloes, sewing machines, kirana shops, etc.

Mahila Abhivrudhi Maththu Samrakshana Samsthe (MASS), founded in 1987, is a membership organization for Devadasi women in Belgaum, Karnataka. Its vision is: to eradicate the Devadasi system, and empower exploited women trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation under the guise of the Devadasi practice. The MASS membership drive is facilitated by local governance ‘Panchayat’ bodies and community support. MASS successfully campaigns for benefits from government programs and schemes. Milaap partners with MASS to provide enterprise development loans to former Devadasis trained in sustainable livelihood skills like tailoring, goat-rearing, etc. This empowers them to build small-businesses, achieve financial independence, and educate their children for a better future.
Milaap is a mission-driven company empowering people to be the change they want to see. They are changing the way people fund and impact communities in need.
