Lilly Singh Instagram – We’re writing checks ✍🏽💰 @unicornisland Thanks to your generous support of my Birthday campaign, we raised $178K to support 5 community-based organizations in India. This is multiple times bigger than what we raised and donated last year. This is the energy 👏🏽 As promised, today on #dayofthegirl, I am excited to announce Unicorn Island Fund’s 2023 grantees. Aarti, Breakthrough, Magic Bus, Pardada Pardadi and SwaTaleem share our vision and belief that every girl should be able to learn, thrive and live life without limits. Our grants to these organizations make this a reality for so many more girls in India. A little more about these extraordinary organizations: 👧🏽 Aarti provides a home for orphaned and abandoned girls, preserves their childhoods and helps educate and guide them towards a secure future. 👧🏽 Breakthrough works to create a cultural shift in India that makes discrimination and violence against women and girls unacceptable. 👧🏽 Magic Bus helps young girls in India complete high school, delay their age of marriage and learn critical life skills to break the cycle of poverty. 
👧🏽 Pardada Pardadi develops girls in rural India into confident young women through education, employment and empowerment.  👧🏽 SwaTaleem creates thriving school communities for girls belonging to some of the most underprivileged communities in India. 3 of these organizations are repeats from last year and 2 of them are new grantees. But want to know what’s amazing? All 5 of these community-based organizations were introduced to Unicorn Island Fund by YOU… our community. Thank you for your recommendations!  Please continue to bring us organizations and people who are moving the needle when it comes to gender equality and make sure you follow @aartiforgirls, @inbreakthrough, @magic.bus,  @pardadapardadi and @swataleem_ngo.  Thank you again! Let’s keep working 💜   #UnicornIslandFund #UIF
