Her Dreams Were Almost Taken Away—Until Education Gave Her a Second Chance
The Challenge:
Even today, only 3 out of 5 girls in India are enrolled in higher secondary education. (Source: GER, UDISE 2021-22). Many, like Kirubavathi, face obstacles that push them out of school—poverty, child marriage, gender bias, and lack of proper school infrastructure.
Kirubavathi, a bright and determined young girl, was on the verge of dropping out when her family decided to marry her off at a young age. Education seemed like a distant dream—until CRY stepped in. Through continuous awareness, intervention, and support, she was given the opportunity to continue her studies. Today, she is back in school, working hard to build a future she once thought was out of reach.
But there are thousands of girls like Kirubavathi who still need your help.
CRY (Child Rights and You) has been at the forefront of ensuring that girls not only enroll in school but complete their education. As a leading NGO for girls’ education, we address the root causes that prevent them from learning and thriving. Your support will help:
Why Educating Girls Matters
When a girl is educated, she can uplift not just herself but her entire community. Studies show that educating girls leads to lower poverty rates, better healthcare, and economic growth.
