Project Nanhi Kali was founded in 1996 at K.C. Mahindra Education Trust by Anand Mahindra with the vision of creating a world where girls, despite the patriarchal challenges and societal biases they face, are empowered through education.
Change and Continuity: Extended Support, Enhanced Empowerment

How Can You Help?

For just Rs. 6,000, you can provide her with the key to a brighter future. Your support goes beyond mere financial assistance. It's an investment in her potential, her dreams, and her empowerment. With your sponsorship, she gains access to essential 21st century skills, a physical education module and a chance for her to break free from the humdrum of doing household work.
