Planting Seeds(Bhagalpur, Bihar):

Impact Story of Project

In a sleepy and underdeveloped small village in rural Bihar surrounded by very poor infrastructure and limited connectivity, Project Planting Seeds was conducted at Rural Future Foundation’s Rural Library & Information Center in Bhagalpur District of Bihar in early 2024 to improve the education and leadership quality among rural girls. Around 57 girls were enrolled in this leadership development program. They have been trained for four months online to develop leadership among them and take charge to bring change the community. Out of 57 Girls, 5 girls (Amrita, Manisha Bharti, Pallavi, Manisha Kumari and Reena), who are doing graduation in a local college did exceptionally well for community participation.

Certificate of Excellence has been given to these five students for extraordinary engagement and community involvement. Now these five girls have made groups of children and they are promoting story reading, library visits, play-based learning, and computer education among the rural and vulnerable girls students. Suddenly, this program brings a fresh air in education for our rural and vulnerable community especially for girls. This continuous engagement will bring a substantial change in community and help us to find the world’s biggest untapped talent pool among rural and especially girls.
