WOMEN IN NEED
Jazba Entertainment has partnered with the non-profit organization, Women In Need (WIN), an organization that rehabilitates the lives of impoverished South Asian women who suffer or have suffered from sexual assault, HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and the pitfalls of poverty.
WHY WE CHOSE WIN
Inspired by the 2012 Delhi gang rape case, Jazba Entertainment has partnered with the non-profit organization, Women In Need, to help further their cause. We use the competition as a platform to raise both awareness and funds for WIN.
ABOUT WIN

WHAT WIN DOES
Women In Need aims to benefit South Asian women suffering from the physical and social scars of Leprosy as well as treating conditions such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, mental illness, and the effects of rape and abuse.
THE WIN TEAM
Meet the two women who founded this organization.
LEAH SHA PATTISON
"I often wonder what it must be like to experience discrimination, abuse, rape, terminal illness, confusion, fear, and pain, and to do so without the comfort of another person being there to lend a helping hand, offer a solution, or simply provide a sympathetic ear. It is a question that constantly bothers me as I meet so many ladies through Women In Need."
USHA PATIL
"Many South Asian women suffer from a multitude of problems, which has led us to establish Women In Need and continue the battle to provide help and seek justice for society’s most vulnerable. Leprosy took my childhood and whatever I have suffered has made me stronger and more capable of feeling compassion towards the women Leah and I strive to help."
