Empowerment of 200000 Adolescent Girls in India
Organization information
Ashish Gram Rachna Trust: Institute of Health Management, Pachod
Location: Aurangabad, India
Summary
Almost half of girls in India will be married before the age of 18, and many will have their first child before they are 17. The Covid 19 pandemic has had a negative effect on adolescent girls. Child marriage perpetuates the poverty cycle and significantly increases the incidence of maternal and neonatal health issues and mortality. Our integrated interventions empower adolescent girls, prevent child marriage, help to delay conception and support young mothers.
