    Challenges and CSR Opportunities

    Challenges

    Education for Girls

    Gender disparity persists in rural areas, hindering girls' access to education due to economic constraints and prioritization of boys' education. This perpetuates a cycle of poverty and limited opportunities for rural girls.

    Education and Skill Training

    Shortage of qualified teachers and staff in rural areas affects the quality of education and limits students' learning experiences, exacerbating socio-economic challenges.

    Skill Development and Upskilling for Self-Reliance

    Rural women often lack access to vocational training, hindering their employability and economic independence. Without practical skills, they face barriers to entering the workforce and improving their socio-economic status.

    CSR Opportunity

    Corporations have a significant opportunity to address these challenges by partnering with Akal Institute of Rural Women Empowerment (AIRWE) Program:
    • Funding scholarships, financial aid, meal and nutrition support, and educational assistance to ensure economic constraints do not hinder girls' education.
    • Supporting residential training programs for women to address the shortage of qualified educators and empower women to become leaders in their communities.
    • Investing in vocational training programs and offering courses in various trades to enhance employability and foster economic stability and self-reliance among rural women.
