This Women’s Day, we are celebrating Nirmala Secretary, Sarvo Prayas Sansthan, our partner organisation in Madhubani who was awarded the Women Exemplar award for her Community-led child protection work in partnership with Leher.

Selected from 300 nominations, after a rigorous three-step selection process, Nirmala was presented this award alongside 13 other women.

This award was presented by the CII foundation, an organisation working towards inclusive development by providing a meaningful bridge between marginalized communities and donors.

Here’s what CII Foundation shared about her work in partnership with Leher. “By turning 1,452 youth, adolescents, teachers, parents, and government officials into barefoot child protection experts, Nirmala has revived a defunct government system, stopped 200 child marriages, and directly impacted 11,241 individuals.”
