In rural areas of India more than 60% of children drop out of school after 5th grade. High schools are not available in rural villages and girls need to travel long distance to pursue higher education. A lack of transportation and infrastructure causes parents to drop their daughters out of school. Mann Deshi Foundation gives this opportunity to girls by providing a bicycle and fulfills their dream of going to school. The journey to school will become safer and faster than before.
In rural areas of India, more than 60% of children drop out of school after 5th grade. High schools are not available in rural villages and girls need to travel long distance to pursue higher education. However, a lack of transportation and infrastructure causes parents to take their daughters out of school, resulting in labor work, early marriages, pregnancy, and a greater vulnerability to violence.
Every girl deserves to go to school. Mann Deshi Foundation gives this opportunity to girls by providing a bicycle and fulfills their dream of going to school. Gifting a bicycle to a girl makes it possible to save travel time and focus on her studies. The journey to school becomes safer and faster than before.
Through education, girls can become independent and successful. It releases them from poverty and repression. This program has been running for 20 years and has given over 10,000 bicycles to young girls.
