The world today is unsafe for girls and women. Urban/ rural, educated/ uneducated, rich/poor, abled/ differently abled…the list can go on and we will still not find any group where women safe or know of their rights or can negotiate for their future. However, change is happening and women are making their mark in many domains. All they need is an equalizer; freedom to dream, an opportunity to go to school and have decision-making power. An organization like VOICE 4 Girls is doing just that. Through innovative girl and women empowerment programs, we are tilting the axis of power to the hands of girls and women…even if it is just a little. We can do with a little bit of help and support.

Are you passionate about girls’ rights? Do you have it in you to travel to the remote corners of India to reach out to thousands of girls and women? Do you believe that you can change someone’s life? Are you ready to take on the huge responsibility of a change maker? If so, get in touch with us?
