Support Breakthrough India working at the Grass Roots Level - Help Educate & Promote Gender Equality

Whenever something like the recent Kolkata incident happens, there is a massive outrage and we are all angry at the society, at the system, at ourselves. We channelize that anger and express on social media. In the past few weeks I have seen women are angry about "Not all men", women are angry about the question "why was she working so late?" Women are yelling at mothers and saying "It is important to raise your boys well."

Alas, those mothers are not on social media. Those mothers are dealing with their own struggles and trying to keep lights on for themselves and their daughters in patriarchal households.

We will have to get creative and think outside the box. The solution to this begins with educating our rural and small town children about gender equality and gender based violence.

Breakthrough Trust is doing exactly this with their flagship programs like "Taron Ki Toli". A program where their volunteers go door to door, school to school, conduct classes, raise awareness, work with the local community, identify local hurdles, educate and empower local children and their elders so every girl has equal chance at life, to live free and embrace opportunities!

Not all of us can be a ground volunteer, but we can support such organizations with funds so they can continue to work at the grass roots level to bring a change.

We don't have to be angry, feel helpless and let it go (and wait for something similar to happen again). We can make a difference and take action and Do Something!

Please donate as much as you can. Here's something you should know:

Your 3,000 rupees can help Breakthrough Trust run their gender equality training program for one adolescent for an entire year!

Your 1,500 rupees will help them run this program for one adolescent for 6 months!

Your 750 rupees will help them run this program for one adolescent for 3 months!

Thank you!
