HELP EDUCATE 750 GIRLS IN RURAL INDIA

EDUCATING 25,042 GIRLS ACROSS INDIA -  IN RAJASTHAN, HARYANA, BIHAR, JHARKHAND, U.P, ODISHA, WEST BENGAL, MADHYA PRADESH AND UTTARAKHAND

Dear Friends,

We would like to share with you that there has been significant improvement in the girl-child education in the areas where IIMPACT has its presence. In the last quarter, IIMPACT has stepped into areas described as “most backward” according to various studies and census reports.

As per these reports, the number of “out-of-school” girls in rural, tribal and indigenous areas is much higher. It is in some of these areas that IIMPACT has started a large number of their Learning Centers. We identified these new areas based on our knowledge of exactly where there is maximum need.

With help from our donors and well-wishers, we received funds from many quarters at this crucial juncture. Based on this unstinting support we were able to set up our Learning Centers in Murshidabad district of West Bengal where only 10% women are functionally literate and about 4 million people live under the shadow of poverty. With further support, we stepped into Pakur district of Jharkhand where female literacy rate is extremely low. According census reports, this area is the second most backward district of India. More support poured in and we started our Learning Centers in one of the most backward regions of Madhya Pradesh that is Sheopur district. 80% of the girls in this district are “out-of school”. This problem is further compounded due to a high incidence of malnutrition.

Such drop-outs and “out-of-school” pre-teen girls are a vulnerable group with a bleak future. Our donors and supporters understand this serious issue. With their support IIMPACT has been able to reduce the drop-out rates by bringing such girls to our Learning Centers.

Your continued support and faith in us literally means the world to girls who have never seen or been to a school before.

Thank you!
