WHY CHOOSE US

Our Impact In 4 Years!

We support girls from 9th through 12th grade, covering their high school education and guiding them with college applications, internships, and job opportunities to help them take the next step in their academic and professional journeys.

We focus our resources on supporting existing schools in Parbat, instead of beginning a completely new school or organization.

  • Shree Dhurba Namuna Secondary School
  • Shree Bhawani Vidyapeeth Secondary School
  • Shree Matedewal Janasahayogi  Secondary School (Technical & Vocational)

80% of girls who start primary school drop out by grade 11. ALL of our girls are in school. We focus on supporting young women to not only stay in school but also complete their secondary and postsecondary education. 

Our skills-building activities are available to the entire school, not just our scholarship awardees. Through monthly home visits, we engage parents and guardians, providing guidance, resources, and educational materials that highlight the value of investing in their daughters’ education. Through monthly home visits, parents and guardians are encouraged and educated through financial & social support and educational materials that promote the importance of investing in their daughter’s education.

We look beyond individual academic achievement and also focus on developing skills to build confidence, resilience, and cultivate motivation. We design and implement new skills-building activities or improve existing ones, covering subjects like computer skills, public speaking, entrepreneurship, English language proficiency, and health and wellness. Skills training is open to other students at the school as well.

We educate young girls on menstrual hygiene to help them understand their bodies, build confidence, and stay healthy. Together, we break taboos and empower the next generation.
