2017: Girl Icon Training

India is home to 243 million adolescents which is about 20% of the world’s adolescents. Adolescents in India comprise 25% of the population. Yet, the status of girls in India, especially those from vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, is in a dismal state. Caring Hands is partnering with Milaan Foundation to cover their training costs for their Girl Icon initiative that provides leadership training to adolescent girls from rural areas in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh in India.
