Working in close collaboration with our partners in Nepal, Project Didi Australia
​strives to restore hope, dignity and independence to women and girls exposed to trafficking and abuse.
Pulled from my mother’s side,
To pay a debt that was not my own.
My village fades into the distance,
But I walk forward,
Bent on the promise of a good job in the city,
Where I can send my riches home.

I don’t know where we are,
Or where I am going.
We reach a city that is fast and dirty,
No golden rooftops in sight.
I am scared of my new aunty who beats me,
She is not like my mother at home.

Then the men come,
One-by-one, heavy on top of me.
Too many trusts broken that lead me here,
Hope dwindles to the dimmest of lights.
Deceived and diminished I lie there.

A ruined woman,
Who has brought shame to her family,
Who will not take her back.
No escape, and worse, nowhere to go,
You must wait for a twist of fate to save you.

HOW WE WORK

We are driven by the women and girls in Nepal.​
​As every girl is different, each with her own story, we take a whole-of-person approach to each individual, listening and learning from those who know best - the women and girls themselves.
We are future-focused.
​
​By providing a nurturing home through family based care, counselling, schooling and educational scholarships, we equip each woman and girl with the best possible chance at a healthy, confident future of opportunity.
​
We see education as the key to positive social change.
We believe in the transformative power of education in improving lives and creating lasting change. We recognise that only through education will women and girls be empowered to be changemakers in their own families and communities, and for the next generation.
