When girls find their voice

In communities where girls once dropped out early, the EDGE programme is helping them stay in school using English and digital skills to open new paths to learning and leadership.

In a quiet classroom perched in the hills of western Nepal, a group of teenage girls gathers after school. A laptop sits on a wooden desk. Here, girls practise English phrases and speak openly about their lives while doing activities on the laptop. Each session strengthens their confidence and a sense of agency, creating strong female leaders able to make decisions about their own future.
