RWUS recently concluded a Skill Enhancement Training on Embroidery & Design for 40 displaced women weavers in Churachandpur. Through sessions on modern embroidery techniques, colour theory, and market-oriented design, the participants gained new skills to diversify their products and strengthen their livelihoods.

Every new stitch is a step toward self-reliance, and every new design is proof that displacement does not define their future.We are proud of these women, who have channelled their strength and resilience into creating sustainable income opportunities through their skills.

Dear compassionate friends, The devastating ethnic violence and arson that unfolded in Manipur since May 3rd, 2023, have left a trail of destruction, claiming the lives of over 100 people, injuring more than 5,000, and displacing an estimated 70,000 individuals. Numerous homes, villages, and

What began in the latter half of last year has now come to a close. Over six rounds of support, we had the privilege of walking alongside Internally Displaced families, ensuring they had a reliable safety net during some of their most difficult times.

Looking back, these bi-monthly visits became more than moments of distribution—they became opportunities to build trust, share stories, and nurture a community grounded in resilience and hope.

As we wrap up this project, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to for making this journey possible. Thank you for standing with displaced families every step of the way and for helping ensure that no one had to face these challenges alone. Though this chapter has come to an end, the strength and hope we have witnessed will continue to inspire us.🤍

At RWUS, we believe that giving a woman a platform is the highest-return investment a society can make. We stand in steadfast solidarity with both our grassroots women with whom we’ve worked for more than 30 years and those currently facing displacement, recognizing that their collective courage is the heartbeat of our community.

From the steadfast community pillars in our villages to those rebuilding their lives and dreams in camps, every woman deserves the opportunity to lead. By investing in their diverse voices, we ensure that the path toward recovery and governance is led by the women who know our land best.
“
When we empower the women, our entire society gains a future built on justice and peace.”

We are thrilled to introduce our latest batch of trainees embarking on their journey through our Advanced and Basic Beautician courses and our Advanced Tailoring program!

From mastering the art of glamour to perfecting the craft of design, these talented young women are stitching together a brighter, more independent future. We can’t wait to see their creativity and skills unfold in the coming months.

A heartfelt thank you to our supporting partner Women First International for their unwavering commitment to these students. We also extend our gratitude to our expert Training Partners, Lali’s Atelier and Unique Studio for providing the high-quality mentorship and technical guidance needed to turn these dreams into a profession.

On February 19th and 20th, our team dived into an intensive training on MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning). In the rush of daily project work, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture — so taking two days to step back and honestly ask, “Is this actually working?” was exactly what we needed.

While it sounds technical, at its heart, MEAL is simply about making sure we are doing right by the women and communities we serve. After deep discussions on how to truly measure our impact, we walked away with a powerful reminder that: we never stop being students of our own work.

Seeing familiar faces every two months has allowed us to build more than just a distribution line but rather built a community of hope. By providing aid to these Internally Displaced Persons every other month, we ensure these families have a reliable safety net throughout the year. We are currently on Round 4 of 6, ensuring that no one is left to navigate these challenges alone. Our sincere gratitude to for making this possible🤝

We recently wrapped up a 2-day workshop dedicated to intercommunity cooperation and confidence building. 30 leaders from different backgrounds came together to bridge divides and foster mutual respect.

Through sessions on shared identity and collaborative action, we’ve taken a major step towards greater social cohesion in our community. When we work together on common goals like children’s well-being and human rights, we demonstrate the true power of unity.

A special thank you to our partners: India Peace Centre, Nagpur and Churachandpur District Christian Goodwill Council.
