Your Gift Will Help Women in Rural India Learn New Skills and Start to Earn Extra Income
Gender equality is still a far off dream in rural India. Domestic violence, child marriage, and a huge literacy gap between men and women all prevent women from taking their rightful place as respected members of their communities.
All a woman needs to change her life is to make a first step and a little help from you.
Your gift can help create new sustainable opportunities for women in rural India. With your help, she could:
- Participate in a microloan program
- Take part in a vocational training (tailoring skills, making a phenyl detergent, crafts making workshops, etc.)
- Receive regular food supplies and nutrition for her family
Your donation will help a woman achieve financial independence, assert her dignity, and gain respect in her community. You'll unleash a woman's entrepreneurial spirit, help her provide for herself and her family, and give her the confidence and security to fight for her rights.

The Cycle of Empowerment:
Did you know that women reinvest 90% of their income in their families? That means that when you give a woman the skills and support she needs to make a living, you increase the likelihood that her children will get a good education and that her whole family will receive healthcare and nutrition. The ripple effect spreads far beyond the women you help, beginning a cycle of positive change that impacts her whole community. When you empower a woman, you empower a village.
The cycle of empowerment begins with you. Donate Now!
