Azad Foundation

Azad Foundation is a professional feminist organisation that works across social and religious divides so that women with few resources can empower themselves. It does this by opening up non-traditional livelihoods, such as training women to become professional drivers, and by running capacity-building programmes built on adult learning principles that build both the self and the skill. Azad is committed to breaking patriarchal boundaries and structures so that women can take control of their own lives and live with dignity. It works with both women and men in their communities to create a secure and supportive space for change. Azad runs its own centres in Jaipur, Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata, and partners with organisations in Indore, Bhubaneshwar, Ahmedabad and Lucknow. This role sits within Azad's Kolkata programmes team,



which delivers the organisation's four flagship programmes across the district.

The person in this role holds the quality and the impact of all four, guiding the teams behind them, watching the budgets, and making sure the work stays true to Azad's goals. A large part of the job is seeing the Women with Wheels journey through, from a woman enrolling in the programme to her earning a living as a driver.
