Apply by 18th Jan 2022

Room to Read (RtR) envisions a world in which all children can pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world. To achieve this goal, RtR focuses on two areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact: Literacy and Gender equality in education in collaboration with communities and local governments across all the operational states.  

Room to Read’s (RtR) Girls’ Education Program (GEP) ensures that girls complete secondary school and have the skills to negotiate key life decisions.  In India, since 2004, the program has benefitted over 15000 girls across 7 states- Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Uttarakhand. Over the years, the program has witnessed powerful stories of change, has led to best practices to learn from, and innovative strategies to celebrate and share.  Our program reinforces girls’ commitment to their own education, works with girls to develop essential life skills and increases support for girls’ education among their parents, school staff, and communities.

Project Vijayi

Project Vijayi endeavors to empower approximately 68,700 girls through a life-skills based intervention that will help them complete their education, acquire critical employability skills and negotiate key life decisions that lay the foundation for successful lives for themselves, their families and ultimately for future generations. The program focuses on equipping girls with strong life skills that move them towards independence and employability: assessing the job market, developing resumes and preparing for interviews; understanding how be self-confident and safe in the workplace; gathering local resources and assets to develop networks; gaining familiarity with financial institutions; and building relationships with women entrepreneurs. These skills are relevant to both formal wage employment and entrepreneurial endeavors. The project is being implemented in all the KGBVS, Ashramshalas, Porta cabins in the states of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. The project is being implemented by teachers and wardens are trained by Room to Read staff and are supported regularly onsite.
