Free Girls Education

Villages in the Eastern Uttar Pradesh region are the lowest ranking regions for literacy in India. While trying to make the two ends meet, providing education to girls is rarely, if ever considered a priority by most families. Most young girls in this socio-economic group stay at home to help run the household or get married at an early age. Investing in a daughter’s education is almost a non-existent thought.
