Some unique partnerships

Celebrations, the HPCL way

Hindustan Petroleum Corporations Limited (HPCL) has been our pillar of support since 2005. This year, they felicitated their Nanhi Kalis who had completed class 10 with individual Gift Cards worth Rs.10,000 each. It was a celebration of the girls’ pursuit for higher studies and fulfilling careers, and a moment of great pride for all of us.

The grand event was held at Kalavani Auditorium in Vizag, on 17th February, 2017. It was a well-attended event with the HPCL directors and team accompanied by the Project Nanhi Kali team. The event took an emotional turn as the Nanhi Kali alumnae shared stories of their arduous journeys. We are extremely grateful to HPCL for acknowledging and encouraging our girls while whole heartedly supporting our cause.

Benetton India Private Limited launched a campaign called ‘United By Half’. It invoked women to stake a claim to their equal half in the world. As part of this empowerment movement, they associated with Project Nanhi Kali to #EducateTheGirlChild. Through a series of effective and powerful campaigns, the cause of girl child education got the attention it urgently deserves. Now, Benetton is supporting 500 Nanhi Kalis in Gurgaon and Noida to help them grow up into independent women who can rightfully claim their equal half.

Update from the Field

National Girl Child Day at Chakan and Nashik

Is there a happier picture than our Nanhi Kalis celebrating being girls?

While National Girl Child Day falls on January 24, we at Project Nanhi Kali believe that it deserves to be celebrated every day. 500 Nanhi Kalis with their parents, school teachers, Maa committee (mothers’ group) members and the Project Nanhi Kali team came together for a day of rejoicing who they are, at Abhimanyu Mangal Karyala in Chakan on 18th February, 2017.

We would like to offer our sincere gratitude to Titan Company Limited for renewing their support for 6236 Nanhi Kalis in 2016-17. Now, our Nanhi Kalis across Mumbai, Krishnagiri and Delhi have a greater potential for a brighter future.
