I have always been incredibly passionate about working towards women empowerment and equality through writing articles or creating awareness presentations and videos. The idea for uEmpower originated after I took a coding course and I noticed the low number of girls in the class  - I quickly conveyed my idea to Ayushi and Harshita. I made it my goal to create a platform where young girls feel encouraged from early on to be more receptive to take on different career paths in life. Let's change the mindset, TOGETHER, one empowerment at a time!

Hello! I am Harshita and I am happy you are joining uEmpower's journey to bring change, opportunity, and guidance to this generation of women! I was inspired to create this organization after I traveled internationally and saw how different men and women were treated; I saw women who did not enter the work field in their dream industries because they didn't know any women in that workspace and feared judgment from others, leaving them financially dependent. This organization targets minimizing that feeling of fear and burden of having no guiding figures, so that all women can reach their full capacity!

I was inspired to bring this organization to life when I saw how many girls were not joining specific classes that piqued their interest because they were worried they wouldn't be welcomed in the industry. I wanted to help women all around the world join their dream careers and feel welcome. Now, my goal is to help girls worldwide feel empowered to join their dream industries, whether it's medicine, engineering, law, or even art.  I wish to inspire people all around the world to join their dream careers and connect them with leaders in that field to help them become who they want to be.
