Lehar offers vocational training, entrepreneurship and life skills courses for girls and young women from low-income backgrounds. Lehar introduced Arti to the Indian government’s Pink Rickshaw scheme, an initiative to provide rickshaws for female passengers, with female drivers. Today, Arti works as a self-employed rickshaw driver, enabling other women to travel safely and earning enough to provide for her daughter. In May 2024, Arti won the prestigious Amal Clooney Women’s Empowerment Award for her determined efforts to drive change.

Lithuania at 18 and having children soon afterwards, Jekaterina was determined to find a career she enjoyed and signed up to college. It was there she first found her passion for floristry.
