One Woman, A Dream, and a Desert of Social Impact

Nioma Narissa Sadler – Founder

Nioma Sadler, founder of WomenServe, did not set out in life to create a band of women helping women. Nor did she see the impact she would manifest for women and girls in India.

As a child, Nioma did not have a typical upbringing. Her non-traditional parents did not endorse formal education. Nioma was “life schooled” as she calls it. But, she craved knowledge.

So she buried herself in books and stories of powerful and courageous women. Those women shaped who she would one day become.

Strong women were here inspiration…

As a girl, such stories taught, encouraged, and inspired her. So as a woman, she is committed to telling the stories of the very women she was inspired to help one day, bringing the beauty and power of storytelling full circle.

The story of WomenServe begins when Nioma traveled to Rajasthan as the Goodwill Ambassador for Traditional Medicinals tea company in 2006. The Senna that is used for their best selling “Smooth Move” tea is farmed in Rajasthan.

A storyteller with a heart for social change.
