SwaTaleem Foundation

When women see strong role models, they become and raise powerful women. SwaTaleem works with KGBV girls, teachers, local women, and girl’s parents through a systems approach. We work with KGBVs which have a nationwide network with a focus on life skills and English; and we take a lifespan approach towards girl empowerment by creating pipelines and an ecosystem of long-term support. As part of our hybrid model, we build capacities of KGBV teachers and local community women to work with girls by creating school clusters. This is coupled with low-tech IVRS technology to engage with girls and parents via a participatory process with teachers to co-create content. For holistic development of the girls, we rely heavily on partner organizations.
