Change happens through holistic, passionate and committed efforts – and this is exactly what Mann Deshi in India delivered for GIRLS Inspire!
View their video here on our Facebook page on Mann Deshi’s one-year GIRLS Inspire program and hear from the women and girls themselves about the impact of education on their lives. Previously unreached girls due to poverty were identified, mobilised by their communities, trained in their social rights, trained in a vocational skill for employment or self-employment, opened their own business, and opened their very first bank accounts – all in one year!
