RGW Kashmir Girls School

Launching a new educational initiative: A school dedicated to providing nearly 400 girls in Azad Kashmir with quality education and academic opportunities in underserved areas.

In Azad Kashmir, significant educational barriers restrict girls' access to quality schooling. These challenges are particularly acute in rural areas where gender disparities are stark, and facilities often lack the necessary infrastructure and qualified educators.

This disparity is compounded by cultural practices such as early marriage, which interrupt girls' education and contribute to high dropout rates.

Statistics illustrate the gravity of the situation, with girls in rural regions being disproportionately affected. Our initiative focuses on these underserved areas, aiming to transform the educational landscape for nearly 400 girls.

Launched in May 2024 and set to be fully operational by 2026, the project targets the construction and enhancement of educational facilities, provision of qualified teaching staff, and community awareness programs to deter early marriages.

Through these comprehensive efforts, we strive to forge pathways for girls in Azad Kashmir to pursue uninterrupted, quality education, paving the way for their empowered future.
