IIMPACT - Quarterly Update

By Urvashi Nair | Director Marketing

WE ARE PROUD TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE CHANGING SITUATION OF THE GIRL CHILD AFTER THE IIMPACT EXPERIENCE

Learning at an IIMPACT Centre has brought positive news for girls from all locations.

She has more respect now as an individual as she can read and write well
Her parents are more caring towards her as they are more sensitized now to her needs
She is more aware of her health and hygiene and takes care of herself as well as her famil
Her confidence level is high as she knows many poems and can read the newspaper to her Grandfather
The Panchayat elders and other people in the village ask her to read a letter or fill in an application form
She has made the entire village proud by winning an admission into college
She still sometimes works alongside the family, but now she counts the money that her father earns and points out if there is a rupee less than expected
She travels to school along with many other girls of her village who study with her so she is not afraid now
She rides her bicycle to school (which she got as an award from the school)
Though her sister was married by her age, her parents are not thinking about her marriage before she completes college

The list of ‘anecdotes’ is long, but in a nutshell IIMPACT has impacted her and her family's entire life. In fact, starting a Learning Centre impacts the very core of perennial problems of girls' education in the village.

(This conclusion is supported by data from a recent study conducted to judge the impact of girls' education in 30 villages of UP, Rajasthan and Odisha)

Your generous support and encoouragement has helped make all of the above a reality !

Thank You !
