Hi,

We hope you had a great start to the New Year!

Rang De turned ten years old on January 2018. That's right! It's been ten years since we started out and it has been an incredible journey so far! We celebrated our birthday with the 'Colours of Change'. Watch the video here.

Colors of Change

Rang De turned ten years old on January 2018. Here's a message from all of us here at the Rang De family!

Would you donate money to provide energy access to someone in rural India? The low-cost loans at Rang De are helping our changemakers do exactly that, lighting up hundreds of households in rural Rajasthan in the process.

This month, we are raising funds to finance cheap, renewable energy solutions among communities in Kotra, Rajasthan.

One of our aims when providing low-cost loans is to promote financial inclusion among people who belong to low-income communities. Read about our recent field trip to Rajasthan to find out why financial inclusion is important, especially for women in rural communities.

Support these women in rural Rajasthan by donating to their loan request here

Our aim while providing low-cost loans is to alleviate poverty and promote financial inclusion, especially among women in rural communities.

Over the years, we have been closely working with handloom weavers and organisations across India. In January, one of our team members visited our partners to find out how the lives of weavers are being affected by the Goods & Services Tax (GST) regime that came into effect in 2017. Read the article here.

Also, do keep an eye out for our Women's Day campaign being launched on the first week of March!

That's all from our side for now. Hope you have a great month ahead!
