We are working on setting up financial support programme for educating underprivileged girls. Studies show that the dropout rate of girls after the 10th grade/SSLC is very high. The reasons are many - mindset of educating male children only, early marriages and the responsibilities of household chores.
Education is an equaliser, and one of the most important ways to end illiteracy and poverty. Since, there is no centralized existing data available of the kids who are looking for scholarships. We are working towards building a platform for this programme, like identifying/selecting the right candidate, scholarships available and the amount that can be feasibly sponsored. And, if possible create a database of kids who are looking for scholarship. Although it is taking more time than envisioned, our aim is to sponsor as many kids as we can in the upcoming academic year (2023 - 2024).
