Real stories

Behind the numbers, real lives.

Real people, real progress: what two of our projects set out to change, and what changed.

UK

Dignity Kits: Shine and Thrive

The need
Homeless women in London often go without the hygiene products they need to stay healthy and keep their dignity.

Our response
Volunteers and local shelters hand out kits of sanitary pads, shower gel, mouthwash, toothpaste and shampoo on the streets and in day shelters.

The difference
Better hygiene, health and dignity for the women we meet, and more awareness of what homeless women need. Their feedback shapes each round.

India

Adopt a Village: Project Siragu

The need
In Chinna Bettiganapalli, Tamil Nadu, the primary school’s toilets had no water, and five classes shared two classrooms.

Our response
We asked the village women what mattered most, then rebuilt the toilets and their water supply, built a perimeter wall and a new classroom, and sponsored a local teacher.

The difference
Children now learn in a safer school with working toilets. In nearby Periya Bettiganapalli we added two classrooms and a library.

Evidence

How we measure impact

We combine what we can count with what people tell us, so we understand what changes, why it matters and how we can do more.

Set clear objectives

Every project starts with written objectives and expected outcomes, so we know what success looks like.

Listen first

We begin by asking the women we work with what matters most to them, as we did in Chinna Bettiganapalli.

Gather feedback

Regular surveys and feedback from the people we support show what is working, and we use them to improve each project.

Report openly

We share progress, challenges and outcomes with our supporters, and publish an annual report.

Our approach

How we create impact

We meet urgent needs today and build the skills, schools and support that last.

Education and opportunity

Sponsor a Girl and Project Siksha keep girls in school, new classrooms and local teachers help whole villages learn, and skills training helps women earn an income of their own.

Safety and dignity

Dignity Kits bring hygiene essentials to homeless women in London, and our awareness work teaches young people about equality and respect.

Stronger communities

Through Adopt a Village we work with one village at a time and with local partners, rebuilding school toilets, walls and classrooms.

Global goals, local action
