We want to help the United Nations achieve its goal for universal primary and secondary education by 2030.
Students in rural Punjab government schools come from families in poverty. The state appropriately incentivizes school enrollment through programs, like free mid-day meals. But a huge barrier to quality education emerges when the children’s families can’t provide transportation to the campus or supply basic school equipment. The children, as a result, stop showing up for school.
The Three Daughters Foundation builds on the UNICEF’s successful School-in-a-Box program and provides the essential tools for rural primary students in Punjab to excel in their education.
