About Buzz Women: Imagine a balanced world where women have found their voice, express it freely, believe in their abilities, come together in sisterhood to craft their lives and nurture their communities. A world that is prosperous not just in terms of economic wealth but psychological strength, social capital and ecological resilience. That's the world we are building through Buzz Women, a global ripple movement of women finding their inner strength and then creating unstoppable waves of transformation in their families and communities. To begin this transformational journey for the women, we enable them with critical knowledge, skills and inspiring opportunities at their doorstep which will enhance their capabilities and leadership. We understand that poverty is not uni-dimensional and not just about financial scarcity - it is multi-dimensional and for women, it is deeply rooted in the mental models of ‘lack’ - a lack of self-confidence and self-belief. Our holistic training and hand-holding programs address various dimensions of poverty through the 5 Cs—Cash, Care, Climate, Community, and Confidence. Our interventions are tailored to be context-specific and impactful, ensuring they meet the real needs of the communities we serve.
Since 2012, we have impacted over 8,68,000 women across 16 districts in Karnataka and built a network of 20,212 volunteer Community Anchors. Our work has also expanded globally to The Gambia, Georgia, Tanzania, and Ukraine. The impact is clear: Women have increased their savings by 125%, business income increased by 75% for entrepreneurs, 80% of the women participate in household decision making, 51% of the Beehives have taken a community action in past one year, 86% of the women have mobilized women in her community for a green goal.
Our Values - Our starting point is dignity, treating every human being with respect and grace. We bring opportunity to the doorstep of women in a relevant and accessible way. We have an unwavering belief in the power within women to transform their lives and be responsible for the growth of myself, my family and my community. At Buzz we are dreamers and do-ers. We make things happen, learn from our mistakes and give our best every single day.
Our destination is a lasting impact: enabling women to become future makers.
