Better educated women from economically poor backgrounds tend to participate more in the job market, earn higher incomes, ensure their children embrace education and uplift their families from poverty. They are also better informed about nutrition and healthcare, marry at a later age, and have fewer children should they choose to become mothers.
As India celebrates International Day of Education and National Day of Girl Child, we look at top NGOs helping girl children in rural and urban areas with low family income and lack of access to education.
Till now, Sankalp has reached out to 2298 children through its various initiatives. The aim is to help children get quality education so that they could lead meaningful, fuller and productive lives. It is hoped that Sankalp will touch more lives and continue to empower children through education.
