It is a Privilege and an Honor to help make a positive difference in the lives of young women in India.
Our Rotary Club supports 3 girls so they can attend Piyali school in India. Each student receives a state-approved education, books and supplies, uniform, two hot meals per day. Hygiene kits, mediclcal care, and after-school enrichment programs.
Why do we do this? The truth is girls are less valued in India, and therefore receive less of the family resources. When abject and extreme poverty is in play, that only makes a bad situation worse. The uneducated girl is 38% more likely to marry a teenager, have an increased chance of experiencing abuse, or to fall into the 1.2 million sold into trafficking.
