Support Our Work
Fund a Trainee
Your support can change lives. Sponsoring a trainee covers her stipend, meals, childcare, and training materials—costing ₹120,000 for 6 months or ₹150,000 for 9 months. The extended program supports women who need extra learning time or advanced training in operations and leadership.
Fund the Programme
At TKC Foundation, we turn learning into livelihood. From creating training content for women to developing innovative food products in our lab, we empower small women’s groups to produce and market regional specialties. To scale this, we need infrastructure, talent, and market linkages. Partner with us—as a foundation or individual donor—and help transform ideas into thriving enterprises.
