Nanhi Kali makes difference in lives of over 45,000 girls

Mumbai: Over 45,000 girls from low income groups have so far been impacted by Nanhi Kali, a  CSR initiative of Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M). Designed to support girls from low-income families to complete ten years of formal schooling, the project has impacted the lives of over 450,000 girls in an afterschool support programme. M&M also supported a pilot project for Nanhi Kali 2.0 which will help aspiring girls to complete their graduation as well as achieve proficiency in spoken English and digital literacy.

Girls’ education correlates with a reduction in child and maternal mortality, improvements in child nutrition and health, lower fertility rates, better economic production, and female empowerment. Through Nanhi Kali, M&M plays a small but significant role in shaping India’s future by empowering girls through education. Students are selected based on multiple criteria, and then a comprehensive sponsorship plan is made to address both learning and financial challenges.

They also offer academic support classes to help students master math, science, and language concepts, and they also defray the hidden costs of education, including uniforms, school bags, clothes, shoes, and more. Individual or corporate donors sponsoring each girl receive regular progress reports in return, helping to promote understanding and empathy. /BI/
