Through an innovative approach to transforming education, Educate Girls has harnessed both innovative financing mechanisms, such as the Development Impact Bond (DIB), and cutting-edge technology, including Artificial Intelligence, that demonstrated extraordinary results in improving learning outcomes and increasing school enrolment.
Educate Girls has worked closely with the government, collaborating at various levels to drive systemic change and ensure that every girl is in school and is learning well. This collaborative approach has been a hallmark of her work and underscores her determination to make education inclusive and accessible.
Receiving the award at the event, Safeena said "Thank you, Hindu BusinessLine for this prestigious recognition. I am deeply honoured and humbled to accept this award on behalf of millions of girls in India, each waiting for an opportunity to unleash their boundless potential.
This is a testament to the collective efforts of the government, communities, and gender champions working towards bridging the gender gap in education. I truly believe that girls' education is the closest thing we have to a silver bullet to solve some of the world's most complex problems. But most importantly, we must recognise that the right to education is her inherent right - a right that must always take centre stage."
