Our Story

Our Story Safe Hands Rehabilitation Society (SHRS) was founded with a vision to create inclusive, self-reliant communities where every individual—especially women and youth—has access to opportunities for growth, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods. Under the leadership of Ms. Gurpreet Kaur, SHRS has evolved into a dynamic organization working at the intersection of health, education, and skill development. Recognizing that real change requires more than awareness, SHRS adopted a social enterprise model that not only addresses community challenges but also creates long-term economic opportunities.
One of our flagship initiatives, the Sanitary Pad Production and Awareness Program, reflects this approach. What began as an effort to tackle menstrual hygiene issues has grown into a nationwide movement, with 12 production units established across India. These units not only improve access to affordable sanitary products but also empower women by providing them with skill training and livelihood opportunities.
At SHRS, we believe that empowerment is most effective when it is practical and sustainable. Our work focuses on equipping individuals with real-world skills, raising awareness in schools and communities, and building strong local networks that support growth and independence. From training women in micro-enterprise development to engaging youth in community welfare activities, every initiative is designed to create lasting impact.
Our approach combines skill development, awareness campaigns, affordable product access, and market linkages, enabling communities to build their own self-sustaining ecosystems. This ensures that the benefits of our programs continue long after the initial intervention.
Today, SHRS stands as a testament to the power of community-driven change—where hundreds of women and girls have gained skills, confidence, and financial independence, and where local communities are becoming active participants in their own development. We believe that true transformation happens when people are not just supported, but empowered with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities to shape their own future.
