Bollywood is a portmanteau of "Bombay" and "Hollywood," and refers to the Hindi language film industry based in India that continues to make waves both in South Asia and around the globe.

Meet your ExtraordiNari community locally and help us lift up communities across the globe. Through donors and event participants like you, we are supporting girls and women in India with access to education, health resources, and connections that empower brighter futures and build communities. 

Our current projects:

• Financial support: $100 covers tuition, books, and uniform for one girl for one school year. Help us meet (or exceed!) our commitment to pay a girl's way to school for at least 50 of the community's most vulnerable girls per year.

• Infrastructure: we are rebuilding damaged restrooms at our partner school in Uttarakhand, and are scoping additional improvements like building a library.

• Educational programming: we are scoping 2 highly requested improvements by students, staff, and parents -- English language education and supporting the expansion of our partner school's grade level offering beyond 8th grade. 

• Tackling period poverty: we partner with sustainable period care brand, Nora, to distribute washable sanitary pad kits to girls to help equip them to go to school all month long.
