Providing alternative means of livelihood is crucial to help the children of devadasis become independent and empowered. Here are a few of the skills they are trained in! #ChildrenGOOD

[TheMicaProjectIndia @mica_project]

Alternative means of livelihood are provided to the families living in the MICA Belt not only in agro-based, livestock-based, and petty business industries but also by establishing nutrition gardens in their backyard, providing the added benefit of good health!

Since its inception in 2019, the IMAGE Next project has been building a movement of early-married girls who are being trained to advocate for their rights and spread awareness in their communities. #IMAGEIndia

IMAGE 1.0 started in 2018 and ended in 2020. Looking back at the results recap, we made great strides in our mission of empowering and supporting early-married girls. However, we still have a long way to go with IMAGE 2.0, which began in September 2021! #IMAGEIndia

Working with communities at the grassroots level is imperative for raising awareness. IMAGE works with teachers and education providers like Ms. Chandrakala to sensitise them about the issues of early married girls so they can help in advocating for their education.
