UMMID is a non-profit organization working in India for over years, focusing on alleviating poverty and social injustice. We do this through well planned and comprehensive projects in health, education, livelihoods and disaster preparedness and response. Our overall goal is the empowerment of women and girls and poor people leading to improvement in their lives and livelihoods.
WHY WOMEN AND GIRLS?
UMMID focuses on the empowerment of women and girls because they are disproportionately affected by poverty and discrimination; and suffer abuse and violations in the realization of their rights, entitlements and access and control over resources. Also, experience shows that, when equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities; overcome poverty, marginalization and social injustice.
