Creating local solutions

Investing in young women creates a ripple effect of change across families and communities. And because more than 20% of the world's adolescent girls live in India, we believe that by investing in young women there we can create a global movement toward gender equality. We partner with local organizations to empower young women personally and professionally.

Investing in the whole girl

We know that when we invest in young women they invest in the world around them. That’s why we’re empowering them to make their own decisions, succeed in school, contribute to the economy, and transform their communities. She will drive a groundswell of change across India.

Building local partnerships

Investing from adolescence to adulthood, we partner with local women-led organizations to unleash the potential of a generation of young women, each of whom lifts up a generation beside and behind her.

Igniting global change

One young woman at a time, our bottom-up approach is creating a culture shift toward gender equity that starts in India and ripples around the world.
