Educate & Empower Girls
We empower women to eclipse poverty and inequality. We support Sustainable Development Goals: Quality Education&Gender Equality.
Our mission is to stop violence against women, and empower underprivileged women to rise above poverty and inequality through encouragement, basic education, and vocational skills training.
We are aligned and committed to U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
4 Quality Education
5 Gender Equality
Investing in girls' education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty. Investments in secondary school education for girls yields especially high dividends. Girls who have been educated are likely to marry later and to have smaller and healthier families. Educated women can recognize the importance of health care and know how to seek it for themselves and their children. Education helps girls and women to know their rights and to gain confidence to claim them.
We do this by helping girls stay in school, and complete secondary education.
and by helping young women pursue vocational training to acquire job related skills.
We have partnered with:
ANEW (Association for Non-traditional Employment for Women)
Sarva Vidya (After School Tuition & Nutrition, 2-Year Nursing Assistant Training)
Sai Healing Trust (Medical and Vision Care)
PCVC (Prevention of Crime and Victim Care)
YouthInvest (Second Chance for Adolescent Girls)
We educate and empower women from very low income families and distraught segments of society. We enable young girls to reach their full potential.
We need your generous tax-deductible contributions for us to move forward and expand the scope of creating educational opportunities for thousands of poor deserving girls and women.

STEM Education for young girls
Covid-19 has impacted all of our lives, some of us very personally! We are all still figuring out how to cope with it at home, at work, and in our communities at large. The covid-19 pandemic could hobble progress for girls in poor countries, or even reverse it. The risk of regression is real. So it is crucial that, even if governments of poor countries have to tighten their belts, they prioritize spending on education and girls. Donors should help, too.
Our focus for 2022 and beyond will be on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education for girls. Adolescence is a crucial juncture for girls. It is when many health problems emerge or are averted; and many social ones, too, from truancy to self-harm. Only recently has this phase been recognized as the most important for brain development after infancy. If we can get it right, millions of girls will have a better shot at fulfilling their potential. Get it wrong and they will live poorer, shorter lives, less able to stand up for themselves, more vulnerable to coercion, and more likely to pass these disadvantages on to the next generation. So, we must get girlhood right. Starting in 2022, we plan to launch a number of STEM programs for adolescent girls in India. This requires hiring more educators and deploying new technology tools to rapidly educate and empower the girls.
