Education IS Independence


As India celebrates its 67th Independence Day on August 15th, ODAM Friends is coordinating a global week of action to celebrate that Education IS Independence! 

 We’re hoping to raise £8,000 from our partners around the world – so use your creativity, tastebuds, and party skills to raise awareness and funds to empower young women in India!

 

Let a girl know that the world is hers, too.
