About Educate Girls

Established in 2007, Educate Girls' (a project of 'The Foundation to Educate Girls Globally') focuses on mobilizing communities for girls' education. Educate Girls is strongly committed to the government's vision to improve access to primary education for children, especially young girls, by involving the local government and communities. Educate Girls believes that if girls are educated, they will have the potential to enter the formal economy, gain employment, and lift their families out of poverty. Because of the sustainability and scalability of the model, Educate Girls has grown from a 500-school pilot project in the Pali district of Rajasthan to now serving thousands of schools, reaching millions of children in some of India's most remote areas. The non-governmental organization has an outreach office in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and operations in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and is committed to reaching more children across multiple new geographies in India in the coming years.
