Project Officer

The world today is unsafe for girls and women. Urban/ rural, educated/ uneducated,
rich/poor, abled/ differently abled the list can go on and we will still not find any group
where women safe or know of their rights or can negotiate for their future. However,
change is happening and women are making their mark in many domains. All they need is
an equalizer; freedom to dream, an opportunity to go to school and have decision-making
power. An organization like VOICE 4 Girls is doing just that. Through innovative girl and
women empowerment programs, we are tilting the axis of power to the hands of girls
and women even if it is just a little. We can do with a little bit of help and support.
Are you passionate about girls’ rights? Do you have it in you to travel to the remote
corners of India to reach out to thousands of girls and women? Do you believe that you
can change someone’s life? Are you ready to take on the huge responsibility of a change
maker? If so, get in touch with us?
