Amcha Ghar is a Non-profit that works towards creating an impact at scale through its flagship programs in Uttan, Thane, Maharashtra since 1996. She believes in model of aggregation and strategic partnership wherein, work with key stakeholders including our beneficiaries, community and donors to create impact at a scale in the lives of the bottom of the pyramid. Her story is one of grit and determination. Born in 1967 in a small village called Madar, Ajmer in the state of Rajasthan and later migrated to Mumbai where she met her to-be husband Mr. Anthony Dias and married him in 1994. Marriage did not dim Agatha's determination to create a safe home for girls who are abandoned and at risk. And thus, with her husband's support in 1996, she cofounded "Amcha Ghar" in a small village called Uttan in Bhayandar (W), Mumbai, India.
Agatha has dedicated a lifetime in saving young girls. She has also won various awards and recognitions for the same. But her daughters are her biggest achievement, says Agatha, adding, "For me achievements and awards in the form of paper and material can never be better than being called 'MOM' by thousands of children. My daughters are my strength and my life force.
When I lost my husband, they were the ones who left everything to stand by me." An exemplary women's leader herself, Agatha has inspired hundreds of other women on the path to a fulfilling life. A strong advocate of women in the workforce, Agatha leaves us with some important tips on how to support women across different organizations. She feels the emergence of female leaders can become a centrifugal force for good in the world. Considering the global trends, we need the talents, skills and competencies of both Men and Women to achieve optimal growth and productivity in nations and organizations.
