Project Balika is a nonprofit focused on the education and empowerment of girls from at-risk communities in urban India. Balika works closely with school leadership, teachers, and community members to reduce school dropout rates and build essential skills among girls. Our focus is two fold-- we increase school enrolment rates through sponsorship and community outreach and once girls are re-enrolled into the school system, we work on retention through leadership development, mentorship, and remedial classes. Since our inception, we have impacted over 1200 young women and girls through our projects. Our Covid-relief programme launched in 2020 has impacted over 17,000 women in the community.
