Daisy, Rowena and the Project Help Team are working incredibly hard to prepare for a special experience for all of our delegates.
Our fourth Women's SHINE Conference will go ahead this Monday, 28th February! This annual event coincides with International Women’s Day which is celebrated on 8th March. We are so thankful that Doug and I (Rowena) have been able to travel to India to support the Indian team. This year SHINE has been affected because of Covid but it will still go ahead on a smaller scale. We are grateful and excited and full of anticipation. Preparations are in full swing. Buses have been booked to transport women from a number of towns, villages and slum communities. Registration for delegates is also underway, and there is certainly a sense of excitement as we meet and talk with women in the community.
Most of our delegates are women who live in slums, in poverty. These women can't afford to pay, so we are not charging them. 'Project Help India' covers all costs thanks to the generosity our donors and supporters.
Through our work at Project Help India we are providing hope through education and opportunities that many girls and women living in poverty, would never have thought possible.
Our conference aims to educate and empower women and in doing so, raise a new generation of women whose dignity, individual strengths, talents and purpose will create a strong, happy and healthy India. We want to give them an experience they will never forget.
