Help girls complete their education #PooriPadhaiDeshKiBhalai

The Challenge:

Only 3 out of 5 girls in India are enrolled in higher secondary education.

(Source: GER, UDISE 2021-22). Despite the Right to Education Act 2009 promising free and compulsory education for children up to age 14, many girls still can’t reach higher secondary school. Societal norms, child marriage, and inadequate school infrastructure are significant barriers preventing girls from completing their education. These challenges lead to girls dropping out of school, discontinuing their education, and often marrying early. This not only halts their learning but also prevents them from reaching their full potential.

What We’re Doing for Girls’ Education?

Child Rights and You (CRY) has been dedicated to empowering girls since its inception. We collaborate with grassroots project partners to bring about sustainable change at all levels, ensuring every girl’s right to education is fulfilled. As a leading NGO for girls education, we promote and support girls through four key focus areas:

• Awareness Drives About The Importance of Education: Spreading awareness among communities and parents.
• Fight Against Child Marriage and Labour: Changing mindsets and raising awareness about the negative consequences of these harmful practices.
• Inform About Government Schemes and Benefits: Helping families with crucial information on government schemes and monetary benefits for raising daughters.
• Empower Girls Through Collectives: Fostering agency and confidence through support groups.

Why Educating Girls Matters

When girls are educated, they are empowered to make their own choices, help their families, create more jobs, and improve society. It’s crucial to change the way people think about girls’ education in India. Every girl deserves love and respect.

A study by McKinsey on Gender Parity found that if all girls complete their education and participate in the workforce, India could add a whopping $770 billion to the country’s GDP by 2025. This could mean a brighter future for everyone. Supporting girls’ education through donations is a powerful way to make this happen.

Let’s ensure that girls complete their higher secondary education and help the nation prosper—kyunki unki poori padhai mein hi hai desh ki bhalai!
