The Kiran Anjali Project

Mission

The Kiran Anjali Project’s mission is uplift girls in India from poverty to independence through education. We envision a bias free world in which all children are given a high quality education and job skills to be self-sufficient.

Description

The Kiran Anjali Project partners with organizations in India who are providing high-quality education and support to girls and young women furthest from economic justice. Cultural traditions such as dowries and a preference for boys make having a girl seem a burden for many families. As a result, girls are often pulled out of school early to help with siblings, marry, or earn money. Our partner programs work with families to keep girls in school and they provide support services needed for students to excel. Our partner programs have a 100% pass rate for important Class 10 exams and the Shalini Fellowship program has a successful track record of guiding young women through pre-university, university, and on to rewarding careers. We have a personal relationship with all our partner projects and the students we support.
