LEAD
came into being in the year 1987. It is a Women's Initiative
with the motto LEAD to LEAD. Started by a group of seven
educated, professional women, initially we worked with
women in distress and also wanted to work with the urban
poor - especially the ethnic minority group- Muslim
women (the latter agenda still remains to be fulfilled).
Soon we became an organization involved in carrying
out integrated rural development activities with three
of rural women (members) leaders becoming executive
members of LEAD, - thus making poor, rural women take
part in policy formulation ,implementation and evaluation
of LEAD- propagating "Nothing About Us, Without
Us".
