More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

A host of issues for poor women including unequal treatment, lack of adequate healthcare, and scarce economic opportunities creates the circumstances for India to rank 113th out of 130 countries on the Global Gender Gap Index. Even though NGOs and CBOs address these issues, they lack the ability to effectively reach their target constituencies. With your support, Media Impact will bring together local women, NGOs, and service providers to improve the health and well-being of poor women in India.

Activities

Through your funding, Media Impact will identify potential partnerships in India, meet with groups, survey NGOs, create program ideas, illustrate the value of educational entertainment, conduct study tours, and provide media training.
