In June 2016, our founder and chairperson, Ms. Meera Satpathy was nominated for and invited by the United State of Women Summit convened by the White House in Washington D.C. The purpose of the summit was to celebrate what women and girls have achieved, and how the women leaders were taking action to move forward, covering key gender equality issues, in order to make a powerful difference in our collective future. This was a huge recognition for Sukarya, attributed to its good work in the area of key gender equality issues focused on Economic Empowerment, Health & Wellness, Educational Opportunity, Leadership, and Civic Engagement.
