    Secondary education and prevention of child marriage for out-of-school adolescent girls in rural India  

    Each year for 1.5 million girls in India, child marriage limits foundational life choices, and instead brings in motherhood and hardship, leading them into a downward spiral of poverty and ill health. Ensuring secondary education for 1% of these girls will enable them to prevent child marriage and initaite an upward journey into future, leading to an increase in India's GDP by USD 5.5 billion.
