Description of the partner
Prime Trust works with various target groups in Pondicherry and neighbouring districts of Tamil Nadu. The NGO seeks to contribute to social transformation. It creates programmes that not only offer women the opportunity to become economically independent, but also make them aware of what their lives and those of their children could be like if they broke free from societal norms.
Prime Trust supports women and children in situations of poverty and injustice. Through programmes designed to empower, educate and involve the under-represented, the NGO strives to create a world free from exploitation and discrimination, in which all citizens have equal opportunities to build fulfilling lives.
The mission
