3. Why Girl Education
• Women are the primary caregivers of
their families.
• A woman with an education is better
equipped with the knowledge she
needs to improve the health and
nutrition of her family.
• This also leads to further beneficial
results such as accelerated literacy in
the household, improved health and
better family income.
4. • Millions of girls every year are not born
even after being conceived.
• Today, China and India carry the infamous
title of having extreme gender ratios of
which female feticide is the leading cause.
• Many other dangers exist today for the
female child such as the spread of
AIDS/HIV and other sexually transmitted
diseases, self image issues, eating disorders,
and dowry demands, just to name a few.
• Human trafficking involves primarily the
prostitution of women and children.
5. How Bitiya Attempts
to Solve the Problem
• If we can empower the
female child through
education, which leads to
economic independence, we
can maximize impact.
• When these children become
women their education and
knowledge can benefit their
own families.
• According to UNICEF
cross-country studies show
that an extra year of
schooling for girls reduces
conception rates by 5 to 10
percent.
6. History of Bitiya
• Bitiya was formed in 2008 by few passionate women
who wanted to make a difference in girls’ lives.
• Since then we have raised funds by different means
and successfully helped several ongoing projects in
India with their mission of educating young adults.
• We have partnered with various non profit
organizations in India, just to name a few – Mijawan
Welfare Society, founded by Shabana Azmi, ICreate
an entrepreneurship program for girls, Salam Balak
founded by Mira Nair and Prayas a need based
scholarship program for bright and deserving kids.
8. Project Pragati
• Donated about $25,000 since
2008 for higher education of
girls.
• This donation has supported
education of about 16 girls to
go for Nursing, Hotel
Management and Computer
Science degrees.
