*****************
In rural India, a woman's life is vital and yet very vulnerable. A third of world's poor live in India and it's the women who suffer the greatest disadvantages.
The 'Walk for Women' aims to change the lives of Indian women in rural communities by supporting projects that promote health, income generation, local democracy and education.
Here are some of the facts:
£15 pays for running a 1day health camp
£32 pays for books & tuition fees for a girl for one year
£60 pays for setting up a village market stall
£75 pays for 3 days training camp for organic farming
£137 pays for a health worker's salary for 3months
Last year saw a very successful event with 100 walking, socialising and relaxing afterwards over a delicious Indian meal. And what's more, we raised £3000 for girls' education and women's self-help groups. This year, the event will take place on 1st July 2017 and we are hoping to raise even more.
Thank you for your generous donation!
