Fighting poverty through education

of the most underprivileged in Kanji in South India

Education is one of the essential levers to overcome poverty. This is especially true for girls who, too often, are discriminated against and do not receive the same educational opportunities as boys.

 

"The children of Kanji", a charity association close to Geneva, provides material and moral aid to the Saint Antony Foundation which brings together two institutions in the village of Kanji , Tamil Nadu:

 

  1. The Saint Antony school open to 1600 pupils, boys and girls, from the surrounding villages

  2. The Shanti Lumin children's home which welcomes around fifty orphaned or abandoned girls.

Dilili est messagère de l'UNICEF pour l'émancipation des filles et leur droit à l'éducation. #DililiaParis Le monde compte aujourd'hui 1,1 milliard de filles. Elles débordent de talent et de créativité, mais leur potentiel est trop souvent miné par la discrimination, la violence et l'inégalité des chances. 75 millions d'#enfants sont privés d'éducation dans 35 pays en proie à des crises. Les filles ont 2,5 fois plus de risques de ne pas être scolarisées.
