New Campaigns
Farmer Suicide Prevention Program
Farmer suicide continues to be on the rise, leaving many families without an income. We’d like to explore more ways that these mothers can earn an income, in addition to sewing, to prevent having to surrender their children to orphanages. We’d also like to explore new ways to support at risk farmers with new technology to withstand droughts, innovative and cutting edge farming techniques and suicide prevention programs.
Female students often drop out of school when they begin menstruation because there are no restrooms in schools. We’d like to explore the possibility of adding bathrooms to schools and providing girls with sanitary napkins.
