Summary

We work with 200 adolescent girls in Pune's slums to help them stay in school and avoid early marriage. Through girls groups, life skills, legal awareness, health camps, and community sessions, we build confidence and independence. Families and communities learn to support girls education, leading to better health, higher incomes, and brighter futures for all.

Challenge

Adolescent girls from NT-DNT communities in Pune's slums face deep discrimination, unsafe living conditions, and barriers to school. Many are first-generation learners balancing domestic work and studies. They face child marriage, violence, and a lack of legal awareness. Families depend on hazardous informal work to survive. These challenges strip girls of safety, education, and dignity, keeping them trapped in poverty.

Solution

We create adolescent girls groups that give life skills, legal awareness, and leadership training. This helps girls stay in school, delay marriage, and feel safe and confident. We work with parents and communities to value girls education, improve schools, and connect families to benefits. This ensures girls can learn, grow, and lead change in their own lives.

Long-Term Impact

Girls will challenge harmful traditions, complete their education, and start careers. They will earn their own income, make informed life choices, and live with dignity. Breaking this cycle of poverty will inspire the next generation to value education and equality.
