Improving access and quality of education for over 15 million children by 2024
About us
ABOUT US Established in 2007, Educate Girls' is a non-profit that focusses on mobilising communities for girls' education in India's rural and educationally backward areas. Strongly aligned with the 'Right to Education Act' or the 'Samagra Siksha', Educate Girls is committed to the Government's vision to improve access to primary education for children, especially young girls. Educate Girls currently operates successfully in over 21,000 villages in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. By leveraging the Government's existing investment in schools and by engaging with a huge base of community volunteers, Educate Girls helps to identify, enrol and retain out-of-school girls and to improve foundational skills in literacy and numeracy for all children (both girls and boys). This helps deliver measurable results to a large number of beneficiaries and avoids duplication or parallel delivery of services. VISION We aim to achieve behavioural, social and economic transformation for all girls towards an India where all children have equal opportunities to access quality education. MISSION We leverage existing community and Government resources to ensure that all girls are in school and learning well. GOAL Our goal is to improve access and quality of education for around 15 million children cumulatively by 2024.

Shivangi* hails from a remote village in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. Her father worked as a construction worker until an accident left him disabled. With limited income, the family struggled to make ends meet and Shivangi had to drop out of school to help at home. That’s when Educate Girls' Field Coordinator Sangeeta, learned about Shivangi’s situation. She visited the family, understood their struggles and suggested that Shivangi join the nearby Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV), a government-run residential school for girls. After multiple attempts, Shivangi's parents agreed to enrol her! Today, Shivangi is thriving at KGBV. With the support of her parents and teachers, she’s not only catching up on her studies but excelling! With the support of Oracle, #EducateGirls collaborates with local communities and the government to ensure that every girl is enrolled in school so that she can achieve her full potential. Thank you, Oracle, for empowering dreams like Shivangi’s and championing girls' education in the most remote villages of India. Together, we're paving the way for a more equal future. *name changed to protect the identity of the minor.

Tanya* from a remote village in Chitrakoot district, Uttar Pradesh, had to drop out of school in grade 5 due to financial hardships. She spent her days helping her mother at home but often missed her books and friends. Enter Archana - Educate Girls’ dedicated Field Coordinator, who discovered Tanya’s situation and wanted to change it. Recognising Tanya’s love for learning, Archana spoke with her parents about the nearby Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV)—a government-run residential school for girls in grades 6-8. Despite initial resistance, Archana’s persistence won over Tanya’s parents. She explained the school’s facilities and arranged for a visit. When Tanya’s father met the staff and learned how well other girls are doing, he got convinced that education could give his daughter a better future. Finally Tanya was enrolled in grade 6. Today, Tanya is thriving at KGBV. She’s studying with determination and making her parents proud! She is proof that persistence and community support can transform lives. #EducateGirls
