HEMLATA 100 Initiative
The HEMLATA 100 initiative aims to create real and sustainable impact by empowering 100 talented girls with full scholarships to quality based tertiary college education in India. Areas covered under the scholarship include: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, Law, Medicine, Management as well as Sports and Music.
Sustainable Competitive Advantage
The H100 initiative directly upholds SDG #4: Quality Education and SDG #5: Gender Equality and indirectly contributes to SDG#1, SDG#3, SDG#8 and SDG#10.
The H100 Initiative is unique in that it works with individual Mentors and Peers, bringing an international perspective and diversity to the program. In connecting Scholars, Mentors and Peers the Initiative is building a community of empowered women.
As a social impact project aimed at levelling the playing field, the H100 scholarship provides for tuition fees, boarding and lodging, transport, books as well as a stipend for pocket money and does not ask for a loan payback. Instead, graduate Scholars may voluntarily support future H100Scholars.
Since our launch mid 2018, 8 talented scholars are enrolled into the program. Our belief is that the H100 scholars will act as advocates for education and gender equality and will evolve into change-makers, uplifting their communities.
