Educate Girls

Educate Girls is a non-profit organization in India, established in 2007, founded by Safeena Husain, that works towards girls' education in India's rural and educationally backward areas by mobilizing communities.

It currently operates in over 20,000 villages in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. By leveraging the Government's existing investment in schools and by engaging with a huge base of community volunteers, Educate Girls helps to identify, enroll and retain out-of-school girls and to improve foundational skills in literacy and numeracy for all children (both girls and boys). Since its inception in 2007, the organization has reached over 24 million total beneficiaries, and has helped mobilize communities to enroll over 2 million out-of-school girls in school. In 2025, it became the first Indian organization to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award.
