IFPD develops and supports projects focusing on the health, education and training of women and children in developing countries, in order to provide them with effective means to fight poverty and improve their quality of life in a sustainable way.
WIN Projects
The WIN model fulfils the manifold requirements of an integrated approach to poverty reduction. WIN's objectives are in line with the majority of the Millennium Development Goals (education, women empowerment, maternal and infant mortality, etc.).
The first WIN project supported by IFPD started in 2001 in Mumbai; in October 2011, a second WIN project was launched by IFPD in Delhi, in collaboration with a local partner organisation.
Caring for Women is Caring for Children
"Experience shows that educated women are more likely to marry later, and have healthy and better-educated children, who will pass on these benefits from one generation to the next."
