As we move further into the 21st century, more and more women are embracing their inner drive, ambition and capabilities, and courageously stepping forward to be seen and heard. Liberating themselves from constraints and expectations, these women are all about pursuing their passions and unapologetically claiming their spaces in environments of their choice. They are the trailblazers of the next generation, the rising stars, and the game-changers who stand tall, ready to shape the future and leave behind an enduring legacy of inspiration.
SIA GODIKA
GETTING INDIA ON ITS FEET
In 2019, Bengaluru-based Sia Godika was deeply disturbed at the sight of children of construction workers hurting their feet while running around barefoot near her house. That encounter became the catalyst for her to establish the Sole Warriors NGO. With a simple yet powerful motto - donate a sole, save a soul' - its mission revolves around refurbishing old footwear collected from people and donating it to the underprivileged. Through dynamic collaborations with diverse volunteer groups in Bengaluru including Ploggers Army, the Rotary Club, and the Robin Hood Army, Sia has orchestrated a series of impactful drives, leading to the distribution of an impressive 27,000 pairs of footwear to date.
In recognition of her dedication to making a positive impact, Sia was bestowed with the prestigious Diana Award - one of the highest honours that celebrate the social actions and humanitarian efforts of young individuals, propelling Sole Warriors to the global stage with operations in countries such as the USA and West Africa.
