SUPPORT GIRLS TO LEARN, LEAD, DECIDE & THRIVE

In the age of digital transformation and space travel, the education of children especially girls still remains a huge concern in many parts of India. Although a lot of work has happened post-independence for education, health, girls’ safety to skills training to attain better livelihoods, the truth is, we still have a long way to go. Ultimately, it becomes OUR responsibility as a society to stand by our nation’s girls and ensure equality at every step by facilitating quality education and good health for them.
The Goodness initiative by PLAN India beckons US to take urgent action for girls, NOW. Post-pandemic many lost livelihoods and there is a looming fear of recession which is leading to wider inequality. In short, NOW children especially girls and young women have become most vulnerable to child labour, child marriage and many more social vices. Given the current global situation, things may get worse.

As empathetic citizens what can we do? It is the right time for US to rise up and come together to safeguard our nation’s underprivileged girls by supporting organisations like Plan India. We at PLAN India, have been working tirelessly for over 40 years with the most vulnerable communities. So we understand the ground realities and the magnitude of the discrimination faced by children, especially girls. Our programs intervene at the grassroots level with a ‘gender transformative approach’ to bring about lasting change for girls and their communities.

Join the Goodness Initiative, to find GOODNESS within to ensure a bright future for every girl in India. .
