The results we’d like to see

We’re after tangible results. In particular, we want to:

reach at least 25 girls between the ages of 12 and 18 from each village in the target locations – some 70,000 in total – and provide them with the key skills
see 2,850 Strong Young Girls’ Groups formed, which support, participate in and monitor various developmental village programmes; and make sure young girls in their communities complete at least ten years of education and that their rights are fully protected
reach 140,000 young women through 14,250 self-help groups and provide them with key skills
establish a state resource centre to support the scaling-up of the project’s activities across the state, with funding from the state budget
pilot the new education module in around 750 schools
pilot a similar course for school drop-outs and children living in the slums
