Sureeli, a 12-year-old girl from a village in Sirohi district of Rajasthan, had never been to school. Her life was all about household chores including cooking, cleaning, fetching water, rearing cattle and looking after her siblings; destined to get married in her near future. Sureeli’s brother on the other hand studied till Class 8 and is working. Sadly, this is the plight of around 3 million out-of-school girls in India.
The NGO, Educate Girls, is working to ensure that out-of-school girls in rural India get an equal chance at receiving a quality education by working with communities and government schools to increase enrolment and retention of girls and improve learning outcomes for all children.
Today, thanks to Educate Girls, Sureeli and 120,000 girls just like her have been brought into school and now have an opportunity to aspire for a better tomorrow.
