Give India's underprivileged girls the gift of education through monthly donation

Disha is a bright young girl from a small village in Tamil Nadu. Her family, who belong to a marginalised community, encountered numerous challenges like limited resources and the distant location of the school. These obstacles were compounded by societal expectations for girls to marry early. Disha's elder sister's marriage after completing the 11th grade intensified these concerns.

Disha was clear on what she wanted to do--study.

But she couldn't have defied her family on her own. Recognising Disha's desire to study and also her potential as a bright student, the CRY project intervened. Through persistent efforts, CRY motivated her parents and facilitated her admission to the 11th grade with a focus on Maths and Biology. Disha excelled in her studies, scoring an impressive 91% in the 12th grade. Disha, in a way, defied societal norms to pursue her dreams.

With regular support, CRY can help many more young girls like Disha to fulfil their dreams. Donate monthly.

Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).

CRY was there to help Disha in her further studies. Facing challenges in clearing NEET initially, the team's support secured her a place in a coaching academy. She succeeded in the second attempt, with a score of 449, securing admission into Erode Government Medical College. Her perseverance and passion for education set her apart, making her a beacon of hope for her community.

CRY's core programme of education focuses on the following crucial interventions:

- Development through early child care and education (ECCE)

- Ensuring quality infrastructure in schools

- Empowering the community to take ownership of the girl child

- Enrolment drives

- Tracking the transition from one class to the next

- Working with parents to change their attitudes towards the girl child education
