Our Programs

What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others.

WHAT WE DO

Our Programs

Our programs are the concrete work behind our three focus areas — the vehicles that turn belief, opportunity and skill into a changed life.

Everything we do runs through three focus areas. Social Change changes what a family believes about its daughters. Girls’ Education keeps a girl in school and carries her on to college. Women’s Livelihood turns her education into a skill, a job and a dignified income.

Each program below belongs to one of those focus areas. You can explore the focus areas first, or go straight to the program you want to support.

FOCUS AREA # 2

Girls’ Education

Keeping a girl in school — safe, healthy and learning — and carrying her all the way to college.

Once a family believes in their daughter’s future, she needs a real chance to build it. Two programs carry this focus area.

Support-A-Girl

Support-A-Girl

Keeps her in school and safe — covering tuition, uniforms, books and a nourishing meal, paired with mentors who work with her family when pressure builds to withdraw her early.

Scholarship

Scholarship

Carrying a girl beyond school into higher education — with the mentoring and coaching she needs to succeed.

FOCUS AREA # 3

Women’s Livelihood

Turning education into a skill, a job and a dignified income she can call her own.

Education opens the door; a livelihood is what she walks through. Three programs remove the barriers between a trained woman and a real income.

Skills Development

Skills Development

Turns education into employability — vocational training, computer literacy and apprenticeships matched to what employers actually need.

Support-A-Artisan

Support-A-Artisan

Small, fair loans that let women artisans buy materials, build stock and grow a livelihood of their own.

Artisans Direct

Artisans Direct

Gives trained women artisans a dignified livelihood through handloom and craft — and its earnings help fund the mission itself.

FOCUS AREA # 1 — THE FOUNDATION

Social Change

We change how families and communities see girls — because belief comes before everything.

Before a girl can learn or earn, someone has to believe she is worth it. This is where the chain of change begins.

Nayi Soch
