While 75% of children attend lower basic education, attendance drops to 50% at upper basic and 48% at secondary levels, with girls, especially from rural and impoverished families, facing greater challenges. This lack of education increases the risk of trafficking, abuse, early marriage, and limited potential for girls. Recognizing these barriers, Heifer Nepal initiated the Girl Child Education (GCE) project in 2000 to empower girls through education and address gender disparities. The Girl Child Education (GCE) project has benefited 2,851 girls to date. In 2024, the program provided scholarships and essential school supplies to 210 girls across Nepal. The project aims to educate and support 1,000 girls by 2026, ensuring they have access to essential educational resources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86303cc elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"86303cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Milky Way<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95debab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"95debab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/factsheets\/\">Factsheets<\/a><\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e5dd25 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0e5dd25\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0efbf1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b0efbf1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a11fe03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a11fe03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4248\" alt=\"7\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/projectsdemo.cellapp.co\/heifer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-145673e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"145673e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Period: 2022- 2026 According to the 2021 National Population and Housing Census, Nepal\u2019s female literacy rate is 69.4%, compared to 83.6% for males.
