In 2020 there will be over 210 million unemployed people in India, 50% will be below the age of 30 and currently half of them are dropping out of school. And, even if they are staying in school, they are not learning skills to be able to create their own opportunities. Entrepreneurship is imperative to fill this gap. Targeting children from families living on less than 2 USD/day, i.e. 41% of India, BE! gives girls and boys the entrepreneurial skills they need to fulfill their potential.
BE! storybooks – reach 5 million school-going children in one state. Movies, BE!’s 13-part television series to be aired on national television. Radio, BE!’s 13-part radio series in four languages will reach children who do not have access to TV.

Be! inspires millions of girls to believe in their potential to change their lives & the world around them, by choosing to become entrepreneurs. It is our most exciting and important project ever
