PROJECT SUMMARY

For every 100 girls in rural India, only 18 will reach 8th grade, and only 1 will complete high school. To address this problem, CARE and its Indian field partners have established the Udaan Program, a residential learning program specifically designed to help never-enrolled or out-of-school girls ages 10-14 complete primary level schooling in 11 months. This project will provide program support for the Udaan Program in the Uttar Pradesh and Orissa regions, and allow approximately 5 girls to get a second chance at receiving an education, escaping the cycle of poverty and proving to their families and communities that everyone, regardless of their gender, deserves an education.
