Darpana looking for funding for development projects

Darpana has a variety of projects it is involved in. Many of these need funding, either to extend the duration or to take them and their success to other areas and villages. The Fatehpura project requires Rs. 15 lakhs to build 150 toilets, with each family putting in Rs. 2000 worth of labour as their share. 100 tribal villages in the Dungarpur area have approached Darpana to run Parivartan (the tribal women’s project earlier run in Sabarkantha and Banaskantha and funded by Mac Arthur Foundation, USA) in their villages as the treatment of women is leading to high murder and suicide rates and to huge unchecked population growth. We wish to train street children into becoming activists and using the arts to reach their communities, and many more.
