AWWA Economic Empowerment Circle

AWWA Economic Empowerment Circle was founded by Farida Khan in 2006 as a resource for women designers and developers. The group originally consisted of about 15 women, specifically invited to join as each one was an expert in their chosen field of design - that when pooled together would provide a core of knowledge in order for the group to grow.

We have grown to a group of almost 120 women from every corner of the Karnataka, but we all have one thing in common…the desire to continue to learn and the willingness to share our knowledge with others. We have narrowed our focus to just women involved in design or development but members wear many hats. Farida is known to the list and has been learning and contributing since June of 1999; she vowed to keep the list going both for the women involved and for future entrepreneurs who will require support.
