Friends,
This is the time to remember all kind and generous people who have supported our work with poor adolescent girls living in slums of Mumbai. We also now work with boys in some of the communities and share resources with them as they too are poor and, with a sensitisation program, they can support girls and women from their families and communities. We will be sending you a report about our outreach and awareness programs with various sections of the communities. With support from people like you we are now active in 20 communities. The total number of adolescents, mostly girls, is 4422 and in a rural district adjoining Mumbai and aconnected by railway are 201. We reached 987 adult women and 496 men. These parents, teachers and govt. officers were contacted and involved in issues affecting adolescent girls.
Now this festive season we are joyfully reaching thousands more through fun fairs with accent on health, education and equal status of girls.
We hope you will visit us some day and see for yourselves how your donation reaches communities and girls' are empowered and how donations help us attract more donations and grants.
Thanks and regards,Sonal Shuklawww.vacha.org.in
