We build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle root causes of poverty and discrimination. We have equipped 200 promising…See More

Hi Amy,
Thank you! That sounds like a great trip!
Yes, the issues are very similar for women: child marriage, low literacy rates, poverty. That's why we work with our age group: 15 to 18 is a critical time when many young women's paths are directed out of school and towards marriage. As in India, there are more and more political opportunities for women, so there are a lot of positive reforms underway.
I'd love to hear more about your trip to India and your background!
