The phrase, “Educate a girl, educate a nation” in a nutshell expresses the importance of girl child education. Time and again reformers, leaders, and influencers have quoted similar thoughts because no matter the era, the woman of the house has always been the primary caretaker of the family; and education can enable her to contribute for the betterment and well-being of the entire family in a significant way thereby creating a ripple effect of the power of education resulting in the development of the nation.
In our mission towards facilitating rural education development, we have closely witnessed the socio-economic challenges that deter rural children from accessing quality education and opportunities for overall development. In the case of girls, this is topped with gender-biased discriminations that curb them from not just education, but also their well-being and quality of life. To address this, we established campuses separately for boys and girls in rural hinterlands. This enables easy accessibility and acts as an assurance for the parents that their children will stay closer to the village.
Fostering equal opportunity
At the Each One Educate One Foundation, we provide equal opportunities to both boys and girls. We have 28 campuses covering 20 districts in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. So far, we have transformed the lives of more than 18,000 rural children and youth and at present, we are educating and nurturing 3,000 rural, underprivileged children in our campuses.
Transforming lives of rural girls every day
The inspiring stories of our students are a testimony to the impact of our efforts and a motivation for us to continue our mission of ensuring girl child education as a part of our rural education development programs.
If not for this institution, I too would have been one of the girls in the Banian industries. I am very grateful for the opportunity I have received. I am determined to make the best use of it for my personal development and for the betterment of the society.”
Our institution is guided by a team of highly qualified professors who are not only experts in their respective fields but also deeply committed to nurturing the potential of every student through personalized mentorship. The institution places a strong emphasis on cultural and personal development. I also found great inspiration in the teaching from the Gita about doing one’s best and leaving the results to God. This principle resonated with me profoundly, and I am incredibly grateful to Allah for guiding me to such a wonderful college. I also realized that the teachings closely resembled the lessons I had learned from the Holy Qur’an at home. The messages were the same; only the languages differed.
What truly touched my heart was the kindness shown to me during Ramzan. The wardens and other staff ensured I received my meals before sunrise, even waking up earlier than I did, so I could observe my fast without any difficulty. Their love and sacrifice moved me deeply. I owe my heartfelt thanks to our Revered Founder Sri Madhusudan Sai and everyone who made my journey here so enriching and meaningful.”
Enable more girls to shine bright
As we continue our journey in transforming the lives of rural, under-served girls, we invite you to join our rural education development programs so that together we can create a profound impact in the lives of thousands of girls, their families, and the society at large.
