Project Description
VOICE 4 Girls teaches life skills and the power of gender equality through activity-based spoken English programming to adolescent girls. Currently operating in India, we carry out our mission through 4-week summer camps and co-ed yearlong English programs in schools.
The program provides girls in India with the practical tools and knowledge needed to overcome challenges they face. Through VOICE’s unique interactive curriculum, participants are exposed to topics such as body awareness, community safety, and career opportunities. Activity-based learning and open discussion provide a forum where girls can find their own voices and develop the confidence needed to succeed.
VOICE has been operational since 2011 and has reached over 1500 girls in 33 schools in Hyderabad and Uttarakhand. The program has seen over 50% increase in spoken and written English abilities as well as an improvement in confidence and knowledge about relevant education topics such as health, rights, and self-protection.
VOICE aims to reach thousands of girls across India and inspire the next generation of women to take their futures into their own hands.
