The Dignity Project (TDP) is not-for-profit, charitable and benevolent institution established in Australia solely to provide relief to young people and women in need in India, in particular those from disadvantaged communities, through local projects to provide benevolent care, support, education and training. At the heart of what we do is our belief that dignity is central to the well-being of all people. Our three key areas of focus are education, recreation and women’s health; TDP believes that addressing shortfalls and improving access in these areas will enable young people in India to achieve well-being.
Guiding our work are the TDP core values of dignity, inclusivity, compassion and efficacy. The Dignity Project is committed to ensuring these values are upheld through the aims and actions of its projects and those contributing to its work.
After many years of project and compliance work, in 2025 TDP was officially recognised as a charity by the Australian Charity and Not-for-profits Commission. Having been granted ACNC charity status, TDP is now a deductible gift recipient, meaning donations to TDP in Australia in the 2024-2025 financial year and beyond are tax deductible. We use a direct giving model that results in 100% of donations being spent on supported projects and programs. To make a contribution contact three@thedignityproject.com.au
