About
Nazareth Women Empowerment Society
Nazareth Women Empowerment Society began in 2001 at Nazareth Convent in New Bongaigaon, Assam. Led by the Nazareth Sisters, we help women learn practical skills for work and daily life.
Students stay at the centre during their training.
We believe that learning new skills helps women support themselves, their families, and their communities.
“Educate women and all will be educated. Empower women and society will transform.”
Our vision
