GIVING BACK WITH I=CHANGE
Train micro-entrepreneurs
EMPOWER WOMEN
The Pollinate Group exists to empower women to become
micro-entrepreneurs by distributing life-changing products such as solar lights, fans, water filters and female sanitary products across marginalised communities in urban slums and rural villages in India and Nepal.
Pollinate also provides training in digital and financial literacy, marketing, sales and other business skills to improve women's opportunities to succeed.
$45 = trains one micro-entrepreneur for one month
END HUNGER
THROUGH GENDER EQUALITY
The Hunger Project works to end hunger and poverty in Rajasthan, India by empowering women to become leaders in their communities.
In India, one third of all seats in village councils are reserved for women. However, women in rural villages are often not equipped with the skills, knowledge, or tools they need to advocate for effective change.
The Hunger Project works with elected women over a 5-year training program where they learn how to become effective leaders for change.
$21 = trains 1 elected woman for 1 month to be an effective leader
CHANGE THE FUTURE OF GIRLS
END THE MARRIAGE OF GIRLS
Young girls are the most vulnerable in India. 2 in every 5 marriages in India involve a child.
When girls are empowered, they grow into empowered women who break down patriarchal structures. The effects ripples into their families and communities, promoting social justice, gender equality and economic development.
The Hunger Project works with adolescent girls in India to exercise their voice and agency, increasing their ability to change their futures, follow their dreams, and end their own hunger.
$5 = enables 50 women to participate in a meeting hosted by trained women leaders, held in safe spaces at the homes of village women.
