With only 12% of girls in rural areas accessing higher education and a dropout rate of nearly 30%, financial barriers limit their opportunities. Our initiative covers tuition and living expenses, allowing them to focus on their studies. So far, we've supported 150 women, and aim to support 20 more in the 2024/2025 academic year.
