Support Higher Education and Social cause of underprivileged girls

Rise4Girl, an initiative by HELP Trust, is an innovative program to educate, equip and empower girls from poor and marginalized families across Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra and to create social ambassadors in the community. Investing towards Girl Child education brings high returns in terms of breaking the cycle of poverty and aiding economic growth. It also improves children's and women's survival rates and health, delays child marriage and early pregnancies, enlightens women both at home and at workplace.

We will provide a financial grant to support girl student's education, awarded on the basis of academic merit, family situation & economic status to encourage the girls in their academic pursuits. Rise4Girl is meant to cover the tuition fees of Higher Education (9th and 10th grade), Higher Secondary Education (11th and 12th) and all 3/ 4-year undergraduate degree programs. The girls will also be encouraged to pick up a social issue in their community and help solve that issue through the local community network. We also provide all the support the girl would need to do the social cause chosen by her.

We want to impact the lives of 500 girl children by raising funds to cover their tuition expenses for the upcoming academic year. Thus, the purpose of Rise4Girl is to provide support to avoid school dropouts, to fulfill their dream of going to school, complete higher education, achieve their life goals and to create a change in the society. Along with this, the selected girls would take up causes in their community and impact the lives of other people. The aim is to create a chain of social change by empowering girls to educate themselves and work towards the change that they want to see in their community.
