Saathi House
Saathi House is an anchor organisation that is committed to supporting women to drive positive change in their lives, in their family’s lives, and in the local communities. Together, we are on a journey to engage, enable and empower women to improve their knowledge, skills, networks, opportunities and leadership potential. ‘Saathi’ means friendly companion, and reflects the ethos of the centre, a place where local people meet to complement each other.
Saathi House was founded to address inequalities faced by women and empower them to lead independent lives. A lot has changed since the 70s, but unfortunately gender inequality persists. Women are at a greater risk of poverty than men, make up the vast majority of domestic violence victims (at least 1 in 4 women will experience some form of domestic violence in their lives) and are more likely to experience mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. To help women overcome these issues, we feel that a women only space provides a safe, welcoming and non-judgmental environment for women to come to access support.
Some of the women who come to the centre have been through traumatic experiences and would feel intimidated if they thought men would be around. A lot of the women who come to the centre value an all-female space where they can build a support network with other women. We are the only organisation in the Aston area that is serving women and young people in areas of wellbeing, personal development, arts and crafts, and physical activity. We have been pioneers in many fronts and continue to be the platform where women feel safe to engage. Saathi House is a trusted and well-respected organisation; this has been built over four decades.
