Girls in urban slums often drop out of school due to poverty, early pregnancy, or family pressure. Many cannot afford school fees, health care, or daily hygiene needs. This project will train 1,100 girls in tailoring, soap-making, reusable pad production, and basic sales. They will use these skills to meet their own needs-paying for school, medical bills, and other expenses. Each $10 supports one girl's training, materials, and tools to build a path toward self-reliance.
Many girls in slums are out of school due to poverty. Without skills or income, they depend on others for survival. Some turn to unsafe work, drop out, or fall into early marriage or pregnancy. Most cannot afford basic needs like soap, pads, uniforms, or medicine. Their parents often choose sons to attend school instead. Girls grow up with no means to support themselves or change their situation. Without a practical way to earn, they stay trapped.
The project will train 1,100 girls in soap-making, reusable pad-making, tailoring, and petty trade. They will learn to make and sell items like reusable pads and hygiene products. Each girl will receive materials, tools, basic training and seed grants. They will use their earnings to buy books, pay school fees, or cover small hospital bills. Trainers will visit slums directly, using rented spaces and mobile equipment. This will make it easier for girls to learn near their homes.
The project will help girls support themselves through small trades. They will earn from reusable pad sales, soap, and tailoring work. As girls pay their own fees, they will stay longer in school. They can also help siblings or cover family needs. With steady small income, girls are more likely to delay early marriage and seek education. The skills stay with them for life, giving them a basic way to provide for themselves in any situation.
