300 DREAMS. 300 GIRLS. ONE FUTURE. WILL YOU HELP?

By

Ramakrishnan

Dear Friend,

Every year during Dan Utsav, I start a campaign close to my heart—to give the gift of education to girls from under-resourced communities. Thanks to your support in the past, hundreds of girls have continued their journey of learning, growing, and thriving. This year, I invite you once again to join me in making a difference.

🌸 Our Goal

Educate 300 girls this year.

🌸 How you can help

₹9,600 (US$120) sponsors one girl for a full year.
₹96,000 (US$1,200) sponsors a team of 10 girls—a whole classroom of possibility.

👉 You can contribute instantly through UPI, credit card, or bank transfer with just one click on the link above.

Why girls’ education?

When a girl is educated, everything changes—not just for her, but for her family and her community. Education gives her the skills to compete in the workplace, the confidence to make decisions about her life, and the ability to become a leader who shapes a better future.

At Enabling Leadership, we address a critical gap faced by over 800 million children globally who lack the opportunity to develop essential life skills like problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and values such as gender equality. Without these competencies, these children remain trapped in cycles of poverty, unable to thrive as responsible and employable citizens.

This gap has become a global crisis, as recognized by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4, which emphasizes the need for inclusive and equitable quality education.

Employers view youth work-readiness as a critical issue, with key gaps in communication, professionalism, confidence, and teamwork. The challenge isn’t a lack of jobs, but that many candidates are not work-ready. By 2027, India, Southeast Asia, and Africa will have the largest youth workforce, with these gaps more pronounced among low-income youth.

Making a meaningful dent to this alarming life skills gap, Enabling Leadership works with 9–15-year-old children from underprivileged backgrounds, using innovative programs in music, football, and Lego to develop essential life skills needed to break the cycle of poverty. Our programs help children connect classroom and playground experiences to real-life challenges. Currently, we reach 10,000 children across 125 low-income schools in urban and rural India, Singapore, Cambodia, and Kenya.

The Future Demands Thinkers: Critical thinking and problem-solving are now among the most sought-after skills for future jobs, as workplaces grow more complex and dynamic (World Economic Forum).

Resilience Gap in Low-Income Countries: Over two-thirds of youth in low-income nations lack the resilience and adaptability needed to tackle challenges or embrace change (World Bank).

Workforce Readiness Crisis: Nearly half (44%) of employers globally say graduates lack critical thinking and communication skills, making them unprepared for the workforce (WEF, 2023).

Education Falls Short: One in three young people globally believe their education doesn’t prepare them with the skills needed for jobs (UNICEF).

Mismatch in Skills Training: About 31% of youth report that available training programs don’t align with their career goals. The most sought-after skills? Leadership (22%), analytical thinking (19%), and data processing (16%) (UNICEF U-Report).

India's Skills Deficit: Over half (53%) of students in India finish secondary school without the skills needed for decent jobs. (Unicef Head Henrietta H Fore)

Gender Employment Gap: Globally, young men are 1.5 times more likely to be employed than young women, with the widest gap (16.8%) in lower-middle-income countries (ILO, 2021).

Youth Unemployment The global youth unemployment rate stood at 15.6% in 2021—more than triple the adult rate. A staggering 75 million young people were jobless, and 732 million were out of the labour force (ILO, 2021).
