What’s Happening Now
Just $1,700 Away From Stocking Our New Library
This June, our third campus at John Foundation will welcome high school students who are eager to learn, grow, and imagine new possibilities for their futures. Classrooms are nearly ready, but the library shelves are still waiting.
We are just $1,700 away from filling them with books on history, science, geography, space, and storybooks for younger children — stories and knowledge that spark curiosity, confidence, and hope.
For many of these students, this library will be more than a room with books. It will be a doorway to opportunity — a quiet place to dream, to study, and to discover who they can become.
Will you help us place these books into their hands and stand with them on their journey toward education and a brighter future?
Please indicate “Library Books” in the notes with your donation. We are so grateful.
She Promised No Woman Would Die Alone. I Knew I Never Could.
Our partner, Kranti, has been sharing stories from their team and from the young ladies they support.
Read Zarina’s full story HERE.
Zarina loved to dance.
As a little girl, she danced while her mother cooked, while clothes were washed by the pond, while life unfolded around her. When her mother died suddenly, Zarina was six. Her stepmother wanted a worker, not a dancer. Within months, Zarina was starving, beaten, and finally thrown out of the house.
She walked six miles toward town, crying the entire way. No one came after her.
There was a circus in town. Zarina offered to dance, so the circus took her in. For three years, she earned food by sweeping floors and running errands, dancing everywhere she went, convinced that someone would notice her.
Someone did.
Sudara Advocate Trip to India
The Sudara team has just returned from an unforgettable journey to India, and we didn’t go alone. We were honored to be joined by six incredible advocates – passionate individuals who aren’t just supporters, but the very heart of our mission.
These advocates represent the leadership and advocacy that make our work on the ground possible. Having them with us to witness the impact of your generosity firsthand was a profound experience. We are so excited to share these stories with you, starting with our first stop at the John Foundation in Hyderabad.
WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE FREE AND SAFE.

Wholesale With Purpose
We learned that we can make faster progress toward our mission through revenue that we reinvest in our cause. So, we partner with wholesalers, distributors and corporations that want to “do good” by selling apparel and accessories hand-crafted by women we support who choose tailoring as their profession.
