Nanhi Kali - Empowered Women

On International Women's Day, let's celebrate the independent and strong women who help our
little Nanhi Kalis grow up to realise their own potential.

The strength, courage, perseverance and determination of all the women who work for Project Nanhi Kali have helped shape and transform lives of our Nanhi Kalis, into successful women of tomorrow. We thank them for selflessly focusing on getting our Nanhi Kalis closer to their dreams.

Help us build the futures of many more Nanhi Kalis.

Project Nanhi Kali at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM) 2017

Project Nanhi Kali had a great turn out at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon again this year. On Jan 15, 2017, a 420 member strong Mahindra contingent and several individual supporters ran for Project Nanhi Kali. We also had the great support of our passionate leader, Mr. V. S. Parthasarathy, CFO of Mahindra & Mahindra. He individually raised Rs. 12,16,430 at the #SCMM 2017 that will support around 400 Nanhi Kalis. We thank Mr. V. S. Parthasarathy for continuously being a supporter, contributor as well as campaigner for Project Nanhi Kali.

The Dream run witnessed all our supporters wearing yellow Project Nanhi Kali T-shirts, carrying placards and banners to spread the message to #EducateTheGirlChild. Almost everyone at SCMM ran 100 meters extra in support of Project Nanhi Kali, as part of an initiative put together by Nestlé India. We thank the individual runners and Team Mahindra Rise for their enthusiasm and commitment to #EducateTheGirlChild.

Tweet to #EducateTheGirlChild

WatConsult, a leading digital agency, partnered with Project Nanhi Kali in early January for a twitter campaign. The campaign aimed at promoting girl child education through hashtag mentions. '#ThatsMyGirl' was to be tweeted, resulting in a donation of INR 10 by WatConsult. Top Twitter influencers, brands along with a large number of twitteratis supported the initiative by retweeting about the campaign using #ThatsMyGirl.

The campaign raised INR 10,89,100 for Project Nanhi Kali to support the education of 363 girls for a year. The credit goes to WatConsult for initiating such a unique campaign that garnered the right attention and drew in a great amount
