Educate Girls has an extensive team to work out everything for girls across India. Many of them do field surveys or talk with their parents and family. They make them understand the importance of education in every girl’s life. Many of them are unaware of their importance. These girls are school dropouts, many of them couldn’t afford school. Few of them were bound to me at home to do household chores. After that, they chose these girls from all different categories. Above all, providing a platform to study is like a boon for India.
