Changing the lives of women and children  

We want to thank you for your support in 2017  – whether you liked a photo on Facebook or Instagram, volunteered with us, donated your money or time, or simply opened this email – we really appreciate your interest and support in what we’re doing towards helping change the lives of women and children out here in Rajasthan.

We currently have 20 projects running throughout Jodhpur and the rural village of Setrawa providing education and skills workshops.

But it’s more than that.

Every day, when over 450 women and children come to our centres, it offers them a place of refuge. It is time away from their homes, their husbands, mothers- and fathers-in-law and their duties as wives and mothers. Women and girls come together, for a few hours a day, and spend time together, as friends and as a support network. Girls braid each other’s hair, women show their friends their dancing, and they laugh together and feel safe. The waiting lists at our centres are getting longer each day, as more women want to be a part of this refuge.

Your donations keep us going and help us open more centres and more projects. Looking ahead this year, we have a lot more we want to achieve, and through your help we can.

5 ways you can help in 2018

1 Year of school education - €220/£196/$265 We currently have 140 young children being educated in 4 of our primary education centres. The centres were established to provide children aged 5-11 years with the basic skills to enable them to go to school - as well as encouraging their parents to see the value of an education. We are aiming to send a minimum of 20 of these children to school each year. 5 Years of school education - €1100/£980/$1325 To ensure a child goes to school for a full five years, please donate the full scholarship of €1100/£980/$1325. 1 Sewing machine - €55/£50/$67 A sewing machine is given to each woman or girl who graduates from our advanced sewing class in each empowerment project – this enables her to make her own clothes and is a step towards financial independence. We are aiming to donate 130 sewing machines in May 2018.     1 Month's wage for a sewing teacher - €105/£93/$126 Every sewing teacher here at Sambhali is a woman from the local community, and often a former student. By donating enough to keep her employed, it not only provides her with her own financial independence, it enables the students to keep working and learning a new skill that will one day provide financial independence for them too. SOS Project - Nirbhaya Helpline (donate via Global Giving) Each month we have over 25 calls to the HelpLine requesting counselling help for women and girls in distress, suffering from domestic abuse, sexual harassment, forced marriages as well as helping medical and legal aid. We help women suffering from TB, diabetes, kidney dialysis and other illnesses requiring hospital treatment. We are currently running this on a shoestring and would love donations to help keep this project secure and be able to provide aid to those that need it. e.g Kidney dialysis for 1 month = €105/£93/$126   Donnate now!
