A woman’s opportunities depend on more than a job.
A woman’s opportunities depend on more than access to work. Health, knowledge and the freedom to make informed choices also matter. Selyn Foundation supports women’s wellbeing and opportunities through two programmes: #SkillsToEmpower and #BleedGood.
#SkillsToEmpower focuses on learning and skills that support informed choices and pathways into dignified work. Through #BleedGood, the Foundation combines access to reusable menstrual products with menstrual health education.
Selyn Foundation was established in 2009 as the non-profit social impact arm of the Selyn Group, whose handloom business began in 1991. The Foundation is guided by a simple belief: every woman deserves both the dignity of meaningful work and the freedom of a healthy body.
What we do
Our Work
Pillar 1
#SkillsToEmpower
Skills. Livelihoods. Economic Opportunity.
We strengthen women’s economic participation through skills development, financial literacy, personal development, entrepreneurship support and pathways to dignified livelihoods.
Building on Selyn’s long-standing experience working with rural women, we help women develop the skills, confidence and opportunities to participate more fully in economic life.
We advance menstrual health and dignity through education, access to sustainable menstrual products, community-led programmes, research and advocacy.
Working with health professionals, schools, employers, public institutions and development partners, we aim to make menstrual health a recognised and supported part of everyday life.
Whether you’re a business, development organisation, funding institution or community partner, we welcome opportunities to create practical, measurable and sustainable change.
