Help her. Change her world.

Your support for Sister India eradicates these dangers at the source — equipping women and families to break cycles of exploitation, poverty, and abuse.

Trafficking Stopped

Almost half of the world’s trafficking victims are in India. We’re stopping it at the source—equipping families with knowledge and skills needed so they no longer sell their children or depend on their labor.

Marriages Delayed

One in three child brides worldwide live in India. Our learners and their families are choosing differently—delaying marriage so daughters stay safe at home and continue school. Studies and our experience show, when mothers are literate, daughters remain in school too.

Safety Restored

Education gives women the power to recognize abuse and safeguard their families. In India, a woman is raped every 20 minutes—many cases never reach trial. Our learners now know their rights and how to protect those they love.

Communities Transformed

Locally led education doesn’t stop with one woman—it ripples through entire families and neighborhoods. When a woman learns, her family thrives, cycles of poverty are broken, communities grow stronger, and her entire village is transformed.
