On this Giving Tuesday, please remember the power you have to make a positive change for those marginalized communities in India. Imagine the challenges these communities have been grappling with in poverty over the years. They continue to require your generous support for their survival and continuity of their work.

Throughout IDS's 50 years, we strive to be a catalyst for change. With your support, IDS has impacted 5 million people in 18+ states throughout India. We are also delighted to tell you that an impressive 94% of your contributions directly support these communities in India.

None of this is possible without you and your support. Can you join us on Giving Tuesday to reaffirm your commitment to helping these vulnerable communities? Let's continue to secure a brighter future for these communities, women and their children.
