Lesson Learned:

SituationLessons learned through this project
1. Poverty is the main obstacle for girls in running their education.The girls are very enthusiastic about their education. If they get proper support, they can reach their goal.
2. Lack of awareness is another obstacle for the girls.Awareness is increasing gradually among the parents. Now they can know about the importance of female education. Now they are very careful of their girl’s education
3. Transportation problem is also an obstacle for the girls.Though remote areas students are very eager in their education,they cannot reach school in time. There is no vehicle available so they have to come school on foot
