Summary

Barli is focused on the empowerment of rural/tribal girls by training them to further develop themselves and gain skills to contribute towards the development of their own communities. The girls typically arrive at Barli having had no education, illiterate and too shy to even say their names. Within six months, they become literate in Hindi and virtually 100% pass the national literacy exam. They also learn good health/hygiene, agricultural practices and a trade so they can support themselves
