Female Trainers – Oorja – VOICE 4 Girls

Training: 8th to 11th March 2023

VOICE 4 Girls India is home to over 72 million adolescent girls. Girls are excluded from critical knowledge about basic health, safety, human rights, and life skills. Without this knowledge or the ability to make decisions, they are unable to advocate for themselves or take control of their own futures. These isolated girls are more likely to perpetuate cycles of poverty and social inequality in their communities.

This pressing situation is compounded by the fact that adolescent girls have the immense unmet potential to reconstruct societies from within. Given knowledge and agency, an adolescent girl is proven to advocate for herself, seek educational opportunities, and pull herself, her family, and her nation out of poverty. Failure to invest in young women is not only an injustice to girls; it’s holding back global development.

VOICE exposes underserved populations of girls to a variety of marketable, life skill topics to develop confidence and expand their personal support networks in order to overcome the challenges they face. Through our innovative curriculum that delivers critical information, life skills, and spoken English, we’ve seen that when a girl finds her voice, the world around her begins to change. VOICE partners with local organizations, governments, and low-cost private schools to implement camps and yearlong peer-led programs in schools for girls ages 11-16 years old. VOICE looks at creating an ecosystem of support and thus we have begun working with parents, teachers, and boys.

Here’s an exciting opportunity for all the enthusiastic and motivated female college students who want to bring change in the lives of young women.

VOICE 4 Girls is a Hyderabad-based NGO, established in the year 2011 with a mission to enable marginalized adolescent girls in India to take charge of their future.  VOICE has implemented programs in eight states of India – Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Tripura, and Jharkhand and reached out to 2,52,475 adolescent girls and boys directly through VOICE sessions.

ABOUT PROJECT OORJA

According to a study, India has about 253 million young people. Is India giving the right opportunities to its future generations, especially its vast young female population? The answer is a resounding no, as statistics show that India has a very poor work participation rate where female labor comprises of only 27% of the labor force compared to 79% for males, proving that India is still lagging behind the G20 countries in work participation. Through Project Oorja, VOICE seeks to empower young women with knowledge and skills to help them realize their potential, become future ready and transform into Changemakers and leaders of tomorrow.
