Job Opportunity for Program Manager at MukkaMaar in Mumbai

About MukkaMaar

MukkaMaar (https://mukkamaar.org/), established in 2018, envisions a gender-equitable world by restoring agency in adolescent girls from marginalised communities, and creating gender-equitable schools. We believe that the body, voice and mind are inextricably linked and girls must be enabled to exercise their agency across these domains. Empowerment self-defence (ESD) and theatre and pedagogy of the oppressed form the foundation for all our interventions.

In 3 years, MukkaMaar has impacted 3k girls through offline programs, 16k students through digital programs, and 50k students indirectly through school staff capacity building. Our digital product POWER with Mukki has been developed to drive intervention at scale and leverage the power of technology.

When the burden of safety is lifted, girls begin to explore their true abilities.
