VEERNI PROJECT
VEERNI PROJECT
I serve on the board of Veerni, a project focused on secondary education for child brides in Rajasthan. Veerni’s mission is to educate and empower adolescent girls from poor villages in the desert areas around Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India so they can lead healthy and productive lives free from poverty, coercion and disease. The Veerni Institute currently focuses on one central initiative, a facility which provides lodging, meals, school supplies, supplementary educational programs, tutoring and healthcare for 75 girls so that they can complete their secondary education, with the long-term aim of preparing them to continue into higher education or vocational training.
If you would like to contribute in any way do send me an email. You can learn more about Veerni here:
