Sakhi Circle is supported by the Kshirsagar Apte Foundation’s Mumbai Ekatra Ladies Local grant.

It is run out of Nazaria Arts Collective, a community media lab in Shankarwadi wherein youth and women learn and engage with storytelling through the intersection of multimodal art making and social justice practices.
