Mission:
Reach Global equips millions of very poorgirls and women with the knowledge and skills to activate their most powerfulasset--themselves. Reach does this by designing life changing education onhealth, livelihoods and family finance, and replicating itsdelivery in the world''s poorest communities.
Programs: Girls in rural India have adult responsibilities—but no authority. Arranged marriages before age 18, and as young as 13, are still common. Discrimination, abuse, and deeply entrenched attitudes combine to deprive them of education, health care, and support.
Reach Global supports anetwork of social entrepreneur trainers across the poorest states of ruralIndia. These certified entrepreneurs train thousands of local organizations todeliver Reach’s life skills education on critical themes of health, livelihoodsand family finance to millions of women and adolescent girls in self-helpgroups to save and find solidarity and solutions to daily problems. Together,these girls and women—daughters and mothers—learn, save and envision a betterfuture.
This program gives girls in the impoverished states of easternIndia practical, decision-making skills and vital information about theirhealth and finances, while increasing their solidarity with other girls andwomen.
