More than 50% of girls fail to enroll in school; those that do are likely to drop out by the age of 12 and 53% of girls in the age group of 5-9 yrs are illiterate.

Sponsoring the education of a girl child is less than spending on your fast food per month. It is just a matter of understanding and priority. We urge you to consider the education of needy girls as your responsibility as much as your own children. The change begins with you. If not you, who?

Let your contribution be a beautiful celebration and not just a donation. When you choose to contribute under Shakti, you have three options to support the education of girls.

Sponsor the education of a girl for one year @ USD 200(Rs 8000). You can sponsor the education of more girls - by mentioning the number of girls - for one year or more – by mentioning the number of years.

If you want to contribute to Shakti for any amount, you can mention the amount and number of years to make your contribution.

What better way to invest than investing in the future of a girl child? Plus, you can avail tax benefit by donating for this cause. As you donate for Shakti, you will receive a tax-saving receipt under section 80 of Income Tax Act.
