Proud to support the ‘Adolescent Empowerment Protection Programme’ with UNICEF India that empowers incredible girls from Laxmi Adolescent Group, Bihar to lead the charge against child marriage, raising awareness about its dangers and the importance of education. With the backing of local panchayats, community members, and authorities, they’re creating a future where every girl has equitable access to opportunities. Together, we’re moving towards a child marriage-free community, one step at a time.

Inclusivity is key to all children having access to their rights. Once bedridden, Shlok's transformation over the past year has been incredible thanks to regular physiotherapy and learning support. With counselling, his parents now focus on his strengths. On days when Shlok feels low watching his classmates play outside, his teacher, Himanshu Kumar, steps in with fun activities, bringing back his smile and hope. The Transitional Home-based Education Programme by Basic Shiksha, Govt. of UP and supported by UNICEF, is helping house-bound children with severe disabilities to begin learning at home and transition to school and access their right to education. #ForEveryChild, inclusion
