We are proud to share that we met - and exceeded - our fundraising goal for 2025! 🎉

Thank you for helping us support TEN young women to access higher education in northern India!!!

🌟 $125 USD covers tuition, books, supplies, and more for ONE year.

~ For some, reaching their education and career goals and dreams is fairly simple as they enjoy the privileges that come with their social and economic background.

At the same time, it becomes a distant dream for others – due to various social constructs, geographical limitations and financial constraints among a few challenges that inhibit or hinder their path towards their dreams.

A developing country like India has its own challenges and barriers. The major barriers that impact individuals in this country are Class (economic), Caste (social standing) and Gender.

The young women we wish to support face Class and Gender based barriers that limits their reach and access to opportunities.

Thank you for your donations, support, and well wishes this year.

We can’t wait for this coming year and to see what comes next for these young women 🥰 📚 💞

Happy Ojai Day everyone!! 🍊

Yesterday we raised over $700 of which 100% will go towards our mission of funding young women’s education in northern rural India.

💞 $125 funds one young woman for ONE YEAR to attend college.

We sent over funds last month for TEN YOUNG WOMEN and this has certainly helped to replenish our scholarship fund! Stay tuned for more updates on these incredible young women in 2026.

We couldn’t say thank you enough to everyone who came out to support us with a purchase or just a straight donation.

It was also incredible to see nearly every teacher stop by the booth to either say hi or help out (shout out to Tanner for literally being at the table all day!). Having this connection between yoga and India right here in Ojai is incredible and we wouldn’t have wanted to spend our time anywhere else!

💫 Also: we have decided to extend our sale through the end of the year ~ come visit the merchandise table in the Yoga Studio for high quality 100% Turkish cotton athleisure wear for just $10 an item. They make great gifts for your or a loved one in your life and 100% of your purchase goes to our education fund.

📚 It’s simple: educated women change the lives of everyone around her. Let’s focus on where we can bring the light - oh and happy Diwali 🪔 🙏🏼✨✨✨✨✨

💭 When half of humanity is held back, the world loses more than potential — it loses possibility.

Globally, gender inequalities cost an estimated $160 trillion in lost human capital — nearly twice the value of the global GDP.

Investing in women and girls isn’t charity — it’s sound economics, social justice, and the foundation of a thriving future. 🌍✨

To help us continue our efforts, here are some action steps you can take to support this movement:

🔆 Follow on Facebook and Instagram
🔆 Like, comment, share and save our posts
🔆 Visit our website (link in bio)
🔆 Consider sponsoring a young woman’s education for as little as $125 USD

📚✨ Empower. Educate. Elevate. 📚✨

This , join us in supporting 'The Vriddhi Foundation' with a tax deductible donation of any size. Your generosity supports an initiative dedicated to breaking barriers and transforming lives. Your donation helps cover college tuition, provide study materials, and offers mentorship programs for young women in rural India. $125 is about the amount that covers one young woman for one year of school 💪🎓

Every young woman deserves the opportunity to access higher education, overcome gender-based challenges, and achieve her dreams. Yet, too many girls in India face obstacles like financial hardship and societal expectations that prioritize others over their growth.

At Vriddhi, we are working to change that narrative — one young woman at a time. By investing in their education, we not only uplift them as individuals, but also strengthen families, communities, and future generations.

🌟 Together, we can ensure the next generation of women has the tools to thrive. Your support can make a world of difference and we thank you so very much.

Donate today and help us empower young women to reach their full potential. Link on our website to donate via PayPal, reach out directly., or find the link in the comments of this post. Checks made payable to: The Vriddhi Foundation.

Educate women. Change the world. Thank you so very much.
