Our Approach

Atma focuses outreach to women and youth for a number of reasons. Women are especially vulnerable to poverty as they generally have more restricted access to financial and productive assets than men. And, women and children are 14 times more likely to die in a disaster than men. Atma contributes to the standing of women and youth by giving them a channel, through AtmaGo, to express their needs, find and support each other, and demonstrate how they take action to better their communities.

How we solve this issue
We offer a best in class strategy to engage women and youth in becoming changemakers in their communities.
We conduct deep and extensive human centered design interviews and focus groups with women and youth to develop effective strategies to engage them in local solutions.
We empower women and youth through trainings and tools that unlock their agency and journey as changemakers.

  • Support women in their pro-climate initiatives such as growing vegetables, planting mangrove trees, and using neighborhood trash to create and sell crafts.

Community Space

Our Community Impact Platform allows womens empowerment and youth organizations to organize social change efforts. It enables them to document, share, and grow their impact; reach and engage supporters; and create an online resume of their social impact to attract attention and resources from Companies, Governments, Philanthropists, and individuals.

The Community Impact Platform enables the creation of quantifiable goals, and verify and validate this impact online. Over 160 communities have been created on AtmaGo to generate change, from improving maternal health services to educating youth.
