Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of International Day of The Girl Child, today is yet another occasion to reiterate and rededicate ourselves to demonstrate our unflinching support for girls and to ensure that their voices are heard globally.  In the past 26 years, Literacy India has been a frontrunner in upholding the rights of the girl child and investing in their education, skill development and empowerment.   More than 2.5 lakh girls have already become changemakers through our education and skill development initiatives. 

Babita: Stitching Hope and Inspiration for others 
Marriage may be a destination in life but not the final summit.  What if a marriage becomes toxic, and the brunt is only borne by the female?  Babita, a young female, had to seek a divorce and start her life afresh.  Resilient and resolute in standing on her own, she only required a helping hand, which came unconditional from Literacy India.  Babita overcame all her social impediments and learnt stitching at Literacy India Skill Centre and is now an inspiration for us all.
