Connecting Students in India

One of the projects we completed this year was to enable girls in the slum areas of Mumbai access to online learning through the partnership and support from 48percent.org and Sakhi for Girls Education. Together, we provided cell phones, sim cards, and quality internet to set up home-based schools so they could have access to quality learning tools; for many of them, this was the first chance to receive any form of education.

Sakhi Girls for Education, together with different organisations, provided hundreds of girls with an interactive learning platform to build basic English language skills in interesting ways. They also gave online music sessions, where every girl was thrilled to learn music and sing with the support of an online mentor.
