##What do Girls want
“We don’t want to get married early” “We want our schools to have toilets and proper water facility”. “We want safe transportation to school”
Clean drinking water, safe transportation, education are basic rights, that are denied to the underprivileged girls. Covid 19 and its disruption has widened the education gap for girls even more. Through this campaign, my mission is to create a lasting impact by ensuring access to education for girls who face significant challenges. YOUR small contribution can make a positive lasting impact.
In particular, I would highlight the story of 5 year old girl Anoushka, whose grandmother works as a maid in my grandparents’ house in India. Anoushka’s mother was married at 15, had a baby at 16. She could not cope with the burden of raising a child and disappeared. Anoushka’s grandmother is committed to not repeating the same mistake and pledges to provide her with an education. She faces many challenges. Despite working in 12 hour days, she finds it difficult to pay the fees, buy books, and school uniform. She fears that as she grows older, she will no longer be able to provide the education Anoushka deserves.
There are countless Anoushka’s across India who dream of an education and a better future. In the face of poverty and hunger, girls education is the first sacrifice the parents make. Girls are expected to work to support their brothers’ education and are married off at an early age. Even when parents are supportive, lack of schools, transportation and basic amenities, make education a far-fetched dream for many.
Education is not only a fundamental right but also a transformative force that breaks the cycle of poverty and empowers individuals and communities. Here is a short video from Asha who beat all odds to become the 1st woman from her village to join the police force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMijQHN7Vpg
No donation is too small as every contribution counts towards creating meaningful change. Together we can empower these girls, instill hope in their hearts, and create a ripple effect that will impact generations to come. Your support will help CRY continue its important work, reaching out to more girls in need and providing them the education they deserver. Together we can build a better future one girl at a time.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to transforming lives through education. Please donate!!
