91 million young women (15-29 yrs) are Not in Education, Employment & Training (called NEET). This is due to early marriage, motherhood, migration, access to secondary school, academic setbacks, and poverty. As a result, they have no agency (no control over their physical and sexual health decisions, household-level decisions and community-level decisions) leading to their exclusion from formal economy.
We want to change that.
Through Pragati, we aim to create pathways towards completing 10th Grade and opportunities like further education, employment, and training so that adolescent girls and young women have choices and can reach their full potential.
