PCVC creates and extends support for women and queer individuals affected by domestic and interpersonal violence. They are a rights-based organization that strongly believe in a survivor-centric approach.
PCVC provides emergency as well as long-term rehabilitative support that transforms GBV (gender-based violence) survivors into "thrivers".
They have been doing this for 25 years and GFEF is proud to help them in their quest to provide vocational skills training to these thrivers for better employment opportunities.
We worked on this project to educate the girls in a remote village (Lourdepuram) in Kerala for over a year. Many of these students will use their higher education to go on to college or a vocation and build their lives. Our main goal was to make sure that the cost of higher education was not a financial burden for their families.
Sr. Annamma Philip , Vice Principal at this school, was our professor when we went to Stella Maris College in Chennai (erstwhile Madras). She has championed education all her life and we admire her continued work in this field.
