Navitas Education Trust partner Indigo Foundation are there for marginalised children and women in Tamil Nadu, India

Jemma Bailey from Indigo gives us an update

Rates of literacy and school enrolment in Dalit and Adivasi communities in India lag well behind the general population. Without a basic level of education, children and women from these communities continue to be caught in a cycle of extreme poverty, unemployment and discrimination. However, with the support of the Navitas Education Trust (NET), Indigo Foundation and its three local community-led NGO partners provide education and training opportunities for children and women to help break this cycle.
