ABOUT US

URJA-Energy was founded by Mrs Raka Singh in December 2013. Raised and brought up in India she channels her efforts largely towards the betterment of the people of her ancestral hometown Siswa Bazaar in the district of Maharajganj, Uttar Pradesh, India.

On land donated by her family, the NGO is essentially run by a team of locally based, like-minded people.

What do we do?

We focus on some of the basics needed for a healthier and safer environmentally-friendly existence. Understanding the local situation, we work in the field of 

• Solar-based programs
• A skills center through a sewing school and production unit, 
• Center for producing 100% biodegradable sanitary pads and organic farming and
• Bringing back an indigenous variety of rice. Not neglecting the fun aspects of life, 
• Also invests in playgrounds for children, libraries, and small scholarships.

Our prime focus lies in the field of community development through women empowerment, while showing the way for environmentally friendly solutions to daily practices. 

This year we opened a training center for conducting sewing, stitching, and overall training of women entrepreneurs. We used the services of USHA International so that our students could get nationally recognised training certificates. This will help the women entrepreneurs to sustain and build a livelihood.
