“When you join us, you give wings to our girls to fly high”
“When you join us, you give wings to our girls to fly high”
SwaTaleem works with historically underrepresented girls in India: first-generation learners, caste and religious minorities, and low socio-economic backgrounds, with outcomes like high school dropouts and early, forced marriages. These girls attend special schools called Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) established by the government in every educationally backward block of the country. SwaTaleem integrates in-person and low-technology components to enhance academic and life skills in girls (by focusing specifically on English and socio-emotional skills) and create an aware and engaged ecosystem of decision makers like the school teachers, parents, and government officials that support their education.
Scaling through the KGBV network, SwaTaleem is expanding across the entire state of Haryana impacting 30,000 family members and with 5,000 girls going through multiple-year interventions at any time point across 31 KGBVs. Incorporated in both India and the US, SwaTaleem was one of the 3 organizations to be supported by Google through their impact challenge on women and girls in 2021.
“If it takes a village to raise a child, let’s build one for our girls!”
In 2022, we want to do exactly that, with YOUR help!
What is SwaTaleem doing?
We are launching the 2022 Crowdfunding Campaign with a difference, us and the girls running. SwaTaleem is proud to partner with La-Ultra which is one of the world’s hardest marathons in the highest altitudes of Ladakh, together with Dr. Rajat Chauhan who heads it. We plan to raise money through running or exercising in any form and introduce it to our KGBV girls.
For this, the La Ultra team would conduct a 4-month program for our girls in the KGBVs with the idea of “Girls taking up running as a skill”.
