Ankit Memorial Foundation is currently supporting two center for IIMPACT, an NGO for girls education in India. These centers aim at providing educational opportunity to girls, from socially and economically disadvantaged communities of India, who traditionally have poor access to schooling. IIMPACT focuses on educational intervention for young girls aged 6 to 14 in the remote rural areas of India. Community based schools, known as learning centers are created within their villages to compliment the girls’ formal schooling and offer access to quality education. A majority of the girls continue with their secondary education after completing their class V exams and passing out of the program. A key to their success is the extensive involvement of the village community within the girls schooling. Local communities provide and develop the infrastructure for learning centers and monitor the center’s day to day activities. This helps establish the community as an ally and vested partner in the girls’ education.
