LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE
With our help, Mukti Australia - through their partner in India, Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission - can transform the lives of girls in India through the power of education. In Sri Lanka, their partnership with Wings of Hope brings education assistance to both girls and boys.
When girls are educated, entire communities thrive — but 130 million girls around the world are not in school.
Extreme hardships such as poverty, early marriage, and gender inequality force millions of girls to leave school far too young, making them more vulnerable to significant health risks and tragedies including trafficking, early childbirth, and HIV/AIDS.
Education changes the world, and gives girls the power of choice. When we educate girls, we change their lives, protect their health, and help them lift entire families out of poverty.
Your donation or purchase with Prana Chai makes this possible.
Impact Statement
Mukti in India are building a world in which every girl can thrive - no matter where she lives, no matter what her background.
They have reached thousands of girls over many years with critical education and life skills programs that are changing the course of their futures.
Through Mukti Australia’s partnership with Prana Chai, they will support the educational, health and wellbeing needs of vulnerable girls through Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission in India.
In Sri Lanka, through Wings of Hope the educational needs of both boys and girls in the tea picking area of the island nation will be assisted through after school tuition programs including health and wellbeing.
direct support for workers and their families
Without tea workers, we wouldn't be able to make Prana Chai. While we buy our tea from reputable sources, we are aware that even ethical sourcing of tea isn't always enough to disrupt the cycles of poverty experienced by many workers. Due to colonial-era wage policies still prevalent in India, even ethically traded tea could have been picked by workers earning less than USD $2 a day. We, like many coffee and tea businesses, often feel helpless as we have limited control over how the money we pay is distributed along the supply chain.
While we will continue to take ethical sourcing seriously, we wanted to go beyond this and help raise funds and awareness for a cause connected to our industry and close to our hearts. To ensure good governance of our funds we have partnered with Mukti Australia, a registered ACNC charity. Why girls? Because the entrenched poverty of these migrant workers and their families has a disproportionate effect on girls - this, and the fact that all three founders have daughters helped us make that choice.
Every time you buy a 250g retail bag from Prana Chai, we commit to change by donating $2.
Want to help us make a difference? You can make a once-off donation below, or subscribe to make a small donation as often as you'd like.
Can you spare $10 per week? That’s all it costs to sponsor one girl in India for education, living expenses, food and shelter, school supplies and uniform costs.
It costs the same in Sri Lanka to sponsor a girl or boy in after school tuition, healthy snacks, health care, school supplies and additional wellbeing programs for the family. Donate today.
