September 20, 2024

The SOAR III project, which uses the UDAAN model, integrated Youth Savings and Loan Associations (YSLAs) into education programs to help girls overcome financial barriers to schooling and foster a savings habit. As a result, out-of-school girls re-enrolled in education, started businesses, and gained confidence in their potential as leaders. Gender-transformative impacts were driven by community sessions promoting gender dialogue, girl-led collective action, and the involvement of fathers, religious leaders, and teachers to support girls’ education and raise awareness of gender-based violence.
