Why Odisha Girls Fund?
Every girl deserves to learn, lead, and thrive. Yet in Odisha, many underprivileged girls face child marriage, unsafe schools, and high dropout rates.
The Odisha Girls Fund was created to change this — rooted in Odisha’s communities and supported by Odisha’s own people.

Our Vision: 80 schools by 2027
Transform 80 government schools into safe, inclusive, girl-centered strong learning spaces by 2027—India’s 80th year of Independence across Sundergarh, Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj. Schools where underprivileged girls attend regularly, learn effectively, menstruate with dignity and graduate with confidence.
