About Me:: To address the vast disparity in literacy rates between girls and boys in Indian society, we have developed an incentive structure to encourage rural Indian families to provide equal opportunities for their female children. Building on a micro-credit based model, we propose an innovative credit based education system that will, in the short run, increase the longevity of girls' enrollment in school and, in the long run, provide social and economic opportunities that will stem the tide of gender bias in Indian society. We need your support to propel us towards our goal of bringing social equality to India.
