For over 23 years, Dimple Ghadge, co-founder of Palawi, has devoted herself to rescuing and caring for vulnerable women in need. Palawi’s mission is to offer immediate and permanent care to women who have endured unspeakable hardships, including rape survivors, victims of domestic violence, single mothers, mentally challenged women, and elderly women abandoned by their families.

Through the Palawi Apna Ghar initiative, we strive to give these women—whom we lovingly call Mawulis—a safe, supportive home where they can heal, regain their dignity, and rediscover happiness. Since 2007, Palawi has successfully rehabilitated over 50 women into their families, and today, more than 25 Mawulis live with us, contributing to their new home as gardeners, kitchen helpers, watchwomen, and caretakers.
