This year, Shadhika is projected to support 80 new Shadhika Scholars from 4 different grassroots partner organizations in India. Through this Scholarship, young women from some of the most underserved communities of India will receive support through their college education, English tutoring, and a comprehensive technology package.
“If I am able to complete my nursing diploma, that is because of Shadhika, because without financial support, it wouldn’t be possible,” says Tajdina Khatun, a Shadhika Alum.
You can help us spring into action for young women like Tajdina by supporting the Scholarship Program. Because when you educate a girl, you change the world. So this spring, will you spring for her education?

Thirty years ago, Shadhika founder Juthica Stangl took the first step in what would become a three-decade-long pursuit of gender justice for women across India. Today, Juthica’s legacy in India is very much alive, and it has been evident with our team being able to connect with the partners and Scholars on the ground in India after two long years of pandemic. This Giving Tuesday, stand with the young women of India as they change the world in ways we cannot begin to imagine.
One day of giving has the potential to change thousands of lives for years to come, and we are pleased to announce that a fierce supporter of gender justice will double every dollar donated to Shadhika on Giving Tuesday up to $15,000 to help us meet our goal of $50,000.
Join Shadhika to support the education and future impact of our young women leaders this giving season, so they can continue to shine their lights on a brighter tomorrow for everyone.
