Rural women in Asia are among the most disadvantaged people in
the world in terms of decision making power and access to development
opportunities. Education is the most influential tool to raise the status
of women in developing countries, and once a woman perceives herself as
belonging to a group – of students or workers (outside the family) she starts
to see herself as a worthy and valuable contributor in society. This increases
self-worth and paves the way for the eradication of gender inequalities.
iSpiice promotes educational and training activities for women
and adolescent girls in the villages of Dharamsala. English teaching, computer
classes and job-skills training open doors and increase employment prospects
while classes offer a platform for network building and social interaction.
Whether you are teaching English language, email writing or
interview skills your time spent with the women will be some of your most
