THE IMPACT.

Education has the power to light up every aspect of a girl’s life. Hair Trade believes all girls deserve the chance to escape poverty and thrive. Hair Trade is working with existing schools and orphanages to provide an education in a sustainable way to make a brighter future possible.

QUICK FACTS

8 Million.

Approximately 8 million children in India are not in school
35% Illiteracy.

35% of women in India are illiterate.
Gender Discrimination.

Girls are more often discriminated against. Daughters rather than sons are forced to drop out of school and become child laborers to support their families
Poor Outlook.

Without an education, girls are susceptible to child marriage, violence and even death

Proceeds from donated hair are directly applied to the education of disadvantaged girls (including books, uniforms, and school supplies). Hair Trade partners with reputable orphanages and schools in order to support and improve existing institutions rather than undertake expensive bricks-and-mortar projects.
