Yasoda opens a Montessori School

Since 2013, the Kopila Valley Women’s Center has opened its doors to more than 1,000 women—offering skills training, career support, and a space to build confidence, community, and independence. Every sewing class taken, every entrepreneurship training completed, every supportive circle formed has helped us build something powerful together: a community where women are supported and celebrated.

One of those women is Yashoda, a recent graduate of our Montessori training program. Yashoda was determined from the start—showing up early, staying late, and pouring her heart into every lesson. With the encouragement of her family and the foundation she gained at the Women’s Center, Yashoda took a brave next step: she opened her own Montessori school at Pipira Chowk.

Named Gurukul Pushpa Vidhya Sadan, her school opened on Saraswati Puja—an auspicious day honoring knowledge and learning. Today, it already has nine students, with more families eager to join. And Yashoda’s dream is doing more than educating young children. Her school is also creating job opportunities for her fellow trainees, ensuring that the skills learned at the Women’s Center ripple outward into the entire community.

This is what building together looks like:
✨ One woman gaining a skill.
✨ One family believing in her dream.
✨ One classroom filled with children learning and growing.
✨ And an entire community strengthened by her success.

Your generosity makes journeys like Yashoda’s possible. When you give to BlinkNow, you’re helping us support more women with the training, resources, and mentorship they need to change their lives—and the lives around them.
