adolescent girls.
The Project
The project “Education, Life Skills Enhancement
& Vocational Training of Adolescent Girls from Under Privileged
Community” is another intervention of Smile Foundation with
holistic approach focusing on adolescent girls from the underprivileged
community through literacy, vocational training, computer applications
and awareness on reproductive health and hygiene.
The target beneficiaries under the project are
60 adolescents, school drop-outs, girls of 11-15 years from ‘below
