As a child-focused organization, World Vision is concerned about the development and the well-being of children. World Vision’s Female Empowerment Project in Faridkot, India, is committed to empowering and educating adolescent girls.

Project Goals

To empower and educate adolescent girls to be agents of change in their own community so that they can effect sustainable changes in the long run.

Key Challenges

– Females face domestic violence

– Female foeticide and infanticide are common

– Almost half of all women aged 20-24 are married by the age of 18

World Vision’s Key Initiatives:

• Develop the knowledge and confidence of young girls through training programmes, including leadership skills and career guidance, to enable them to make the right choices.

• Raise community awareness on the rights of girls through advocacy campaigns.

• Promote men’s equitable involvement as caregivers in the lives of their partners and children.
