On 17th May 2026, Basara Educational and Welfare Society (BEWS) organized a Parents’ Meeting under Project SHAKTI at Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The gathering brought together the parents of all identified Peer Leaders to deepen their understanding of the project’s vision and the transformative role their children are playing in the community.
The session highlighted how Project SHAKTI is empowering adolescent girls through leadership training, life skills, and community engagement. Parents were introduced to the project’s interventions—ranging from peer group formation to awareness drives on health, education, and social participation. They witnessed firsthand how their daughters, as Peer Leaders, are becoming confident voices of change, guiding their peers and advocating for healthier, more inclusive communities.
Key Highlights of the Meeting:
• Parents gained clarity on the objectives and long-term goals of Project SHAKTI.
• Success stories of peer leaders were shared, showcasing improvements in confidence, communication, and advocacy skills.
• Discussions emphasized the importance of parental support in sustaining the momentum of adolescent empowerment.
• The meeting strengthened trust between families and BEWS, ensuring community ownership of the project’s outcomes.
This initiative reaffirmed that true social change begins at home—when parents recognize, encourage, and celebrate the leadership potential of their children. By bridging families with the project’s mission, BEWS continues to build a strong foundation for collective progress in Muzaffarpur’s rural communities.
