Mission
INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT'S (IGP) MISSION IS TO SAVE GIRLS' LIVES AND END FEMALE GENDERCIDE IN INDIA. IGP RAISES GLOBAL AWARENESS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, PARTNERS WITH INDIAN ORGANIZATIONS THAT RESCUE AND CARE FOR VULNERABLE GIRLS, PURSUES JUSTICE, AND EMPOWERS GIRLS AND WOMEN.
Program accomplishments
- CHILD SPONSORSHIPS: INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT PARTNERS WITH INDIAN ORGANIZATIONS TO PROTECT AND PROVIDE FOR YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN IN INDIA FROM FEMALE GENDERCIDE. OUR MISSION IS TO END THE SCOURGE OF FEMALE GENDERCIDE IN INDIA, AND OUR VISION IS AN INDIA WHERE GIRLS AND WOMEN ARE VALUED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF SOCIETY. WE DEFINE FEMALE GENDERCIDE AS ENCOMPASSING A RANGE OF ISSUES THAT PREVENT FEMALES FROM THRIVING AND ENVISIONING A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. THESE ISSUES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, FETICIDE, INFANTICIDE, CHILD MARRIAGE, LACK OF EDUCATION, LACK OF JOB-READY SKILLS, SUPPRESSION OF WOMEN IN HOUSEHOLDS, VIOLENCE, AND THE RISK OF BECOMING VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING.THE IDEA BEHIND OUR CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IS THAT, RATHER THAN WAITING TO RESCUE A GIRL OR WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN TRAFFICKED OR HARMED, WE WORK TO PREVENT GIRLS FROM BECOMING VULNERABLE TO SUCH RISKS IN THE FIRST PLACE. BY IDENTIFYING YOUNG GIRLS IN COMMUNITIES WHERE OUR PARTNERS OPERATE, WE ARE ABLE TO BRING THEM INTO OUR CARE. WE PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS FOOD, QUALITY EDUCATION, NURTURING SUPERVISION, COUNSELING, LIFE SKILLS, AND JOB TRAINING. ABOVE ALL, WE OFFER THESE GIRLS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND GROWING SELF-ESTEEM.GIRLS IN OUR CARE THROUGH THE CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM OFTEN HAVE A REALISTIC CHANCE AT SUCCESS IN LIFE.Expenses $46,826
- EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT:INDIA IS A COUNTRY WITH A VAST POPULATION. IN 2022, IT SURPASSED CHINA AS THE MOST POPULATED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. UNFORTUNATELY, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE POPULATION REMAINS UNDEREDUCATED OR UNEDUCATED. COMMUNITIES IN THESE AREAS OFTEN CONTINUE TO UPHOLD UNINFORMED TRADITIONS AND PRACTICES. THROUGH OUR YEARS OF WORK IN INDIA, WE HAVE OBSERVED THAT THESE PRACTICES FREQUENTLY INCLUDE A LACK OF VALUE PLACED ON FEMALES. IN MANY COMMUNITIES, WOMEN AND GIRLS ARE VIEWED AS LESS THAN MEN AND BOYS, AND ARE THEREFORE NOT AFFORDED THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS AND WELL-BEING.INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT'S VISION IS AN INDIA WHERE GIRLS ARE VALUED EQUALLY. AS SUCH, IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP CHANGE THESE REALITIES WHEREVER WE CAN. OUR EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO EDUCATE, INFORM, AND TRAIN PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE TO RECOGNIZE - OFTEN FOR THE FIRST TIME - THE DISCRIMINATION FACED BY GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THESE HARMFUL PRACTICES AND TRADITIONS. TACTICALLY, WE AIM TO SEE AN INCREASING NUMBER OF GIRLS RECEIVE AN EDUCATION EARLY IN LIFE AND BEGIN TO DREAM OF A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE - ONE THAT IS LIKELY VERY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THEIR MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS.WE ALSO STRIVE TO SPARK CONVERSATIONS WITHIN COMMUNITIES AND INITIATE A TRANSFORMATION IN MINDSET. THROUGH OUR WORK ACROSS VARIOUS REGIONS IN INDIA, WE HAVE SEEN BOTH ANECDOTAL AND MEASURABLE EVIDENCE - THROUGH STUDIES AND SURVEYS - THAT CHANGE IS HAPPENING. IN ONE COMMUNITY IN SOUTH INDIA, A RESEARCH STUDY REVEALED A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN ATTITUDES: OVER FIVE YEARS, THE PERCENTAGE OF GIRLS ENROLLED IN SCHOOL ROSE FROM ABOUT 30% TO NEARLY 90%.Expenses $29,315
- RICE AND CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM SUPPORT: WITH CLOSE TO A THOUSAND GIRLS IN OUR PROGRAM, INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT IS DEEPLY MINDFUL OF THE MANY ASPECTS OF THEIR CARE AND DEVELOPMENT. OUR GOAL IS NOT ONLY TO SUPPORT THEIR PHYSICAL WELL-BEING BUT ALSO TO NURTURE THEIR EMOTIONAL AND SOCIO-CULTURAL SENSE OF BELONGING. WHEN A YOUNG GIRL IS BROUGHT INTO OUR CARE THROUGH OUR PARTNERS ON THE GROUND, WE CONDUCT A THOROUGH AND THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED EVALUATION TO UNDERSTAND HOW BEST TO SUPPORT HER. THIS HELPS US CREATE A REALISTIC PATH FOR HER LONG-TERM SUCCESS, INCLUDING ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND, EVENTUALLY, A POTENTIAL CAREER.THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY, OUR COUNSELORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS WALK ALONGSIDE EACH GIRL, OFFERING EMPATHETIC GUIDANCE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. OUR TEAMS INCLUDE SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF WHO HELP PROCURE SUPPLIES AND COORDINATE WITH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES, AND ACCOUNTANTS WHO ENSURE THAT EVERY DONATION IS USED ETHICALLY AND WISELY FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.IN 2024, OUR RICE PROGRAM ENSURED THAT GIRLS WERE RESCUED FROM VULNERABLE SITUATIONS THAT COULD HAVE LED TO HARMFUL OUTCOMES; INTERVENED ON THEIR BEHALF WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES OR FAMILIES; CARED FOR THEM BY PROVIDING FOOD, NURTURING SUPPORT, AND COUNSELING; AND EDUCATED THEM. WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ANTIDOTES TO THE NEGATIVE OUTCOMES THESE GIRLS MIGHT OTHERWISE FACE.Expenses $456,788 · grants $313,951
- INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT ALSO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL PROGRAM SERVICES, INCLUDING BABY FEEDING, COW LOAN, AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
