Welcome to Bella Nova, a nonprofit birthed from a heartfelt initiative aimed at empowering underprivileged women through education and skills development opportunities. Our journey began in 2016 within the small village of Kethanakonda in Andhra Pradesh, India. Nestled along the outskirts of farmlands, nearly an hour outside the city of Vijayawada, we encountered twenty-eight widows working the fields, earning an average income of $528.00 per year.

Driven by a deep commitment to make a positive impact, our founders collaborated with a local charity, Grace Ministries. Together with Elisha Moguluri and his team, we established a skills development program for the impoverished women - specifically, a free tailoring education program open to any woman in need.

Over the years, our education program has adapted to the evolving needs of the community. In March 2024, 110 women will graduate from tailoring education classes in Kethanakonda. These classes serve as platforms for women to acquire life-changing skills, fostering independence and self-sufficiency that, in turn, transform entire communities.
