Educational Activities

Girls’ and Women’s Education is primarily important as basic education in the family starts from the mother. It has been observed that the Women and girls in the developing world are often denied opportunities for education. Lack of education limits prospects, decreases family income, reduces health, puts women and girls at risk of trafficking and exploitation, and limits the economic advancement of entire family.
