Equity
Keeping her in school past Class 7
About this initiative
In our districts the drop happens between Class 7 and Class 8, when the primary school ends and the nearest high school is five or more kilometres away. It is not a decision anyone announces. A girl misses a week, then a fortnight, and then her name quietly comes off the roll.

Girl Child Education (Balika Shiksha)
Fund a piece of it, give a few hours on a distribution day, or bring your company in as a partner.
Four things, in this order. A working, private, water-connected toilet at the school. A sanitary napkin supply and an incinerator, run by a female teacher, not by us. A bicycle for every girl whose journey to the high school is over three kilometres. And a named mentor — usually a village volunteer — who follows up on the third consecutive absence, not the thirtieth.
Of the 612 girls we have tracked since 2021, 548 were still enrolled at the end of Class 9. The comparable district figure is closer to two in three.
