Digital Empowerment Foundation, DEF

My name is Guleshwari Kumari, and I reside in the village of Haratu, located in the Ranchi district of Jharkhand. One of the prominent challenges we face in our village is the lack of access to digital equipment. To make photocopies or withdraw money, one has to travel a distance of 2 kilometers. Moreover, in case of illness, accessing medical treatment often requires traveling long distances due to limited healthcare facilities in our village. I am involved in raising awareness among the women in our village about digital marketing, online transactions, and the risks associated with digital fraud. We educate them to be cautious while accessing unfamiliar websites to prevent falling victim to scams or fraudulent activities. Our efforts focus on equipping the women of our village with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely. By providing guidance on digital marketing, online transactions, and recognizing fraudulent websites, we empower them to make informed decisions and protect themselves from potential risks.
