Sister India began with a simple question:
What's the most effective way to help some of the most oppressed people in our world today to thrive?
In some of the most difficult areas of our world, we’ve studied the oppression and investigated effective solutions. Your support for Sister India brings real, on-the-ground results, giving freedom, safety and powerful change.
Village by village, our holistic program protects and frees women and girls, uplifts severely impoverished families, and breaks generational cycles of child marriage, child labor and trafficking.
Your support for Sister India ends cycles of terrible abuse and brings health and wholeness to all areas of her life.
She learns to recognize and stop trafficking in her home and community, stop child marriages, and end her family’s reliance on her own children’s labor. She learns to run a home-based business, keep her family safe, and help her children with school work, so they can thrive.
Sister India partners with local Indian leaders and teachers to deliver a transformational program for women and girls.

Health units help her access clean drinking water, nutritious food and needed health care

Your support teaches her how to be free.
Most families increase their incomes, end their reliance on child labor, and resist the terrible financial pressure to sell their own children.
