Maa Shanti Case Study

Pictures for the People produced a case study film for Lloyds Bank Foundation focusing on Maa Shanti, a charity supporting single Asian mothers who have experienced domestic abuse. The film centres on lived experience, showing how Maa Shanti provides emotional support, advocacy, and a safe, welcoming environment where women can rebuild confidence and independence. Through honest testimony and everyday moments, the video highlights the importance of culturally sensitive support services and the life-changing impact they can have. You can also explore other charity projects we’ve worked on that focus on community support and social change.

Creating Safe Spaces for Healing and Independence

The film captures how Maa Shanti offers more than practical help, creating a sense of belonging through peer support, workshops, social activities, and guidance around healthy relationships. By showing women gaining skills, learning English, accessing education, and finding employment, the case study demonstrates long-term impact rather than short-term intervention. The video reflects the charity’s role in helping women feel safe, valued, and empowered to live independently after trauma.
