As we close out 2024, we take a look back at another eventful year of empowering girls through education. Please take a moment to look through our 2024 Annual Report, which highlights the challenges we faced, the successes enjoyed, and the goals we have set for 2025.
2024 has been another remarkable year for Rukmini Foundation, filled with both achievements and challenges that remind us about the strength and resilience of our community. Reflecting on 13 years of our journey, I am so grateful to be a part of this community, “our village”. For me, a village is not just a geographical term. Our village consists of the girls we support, their families, our partner schools and organizations, and our local staff and volunteers. But, it also includes our amazing donors and supporters (like you) throughout the world including amazing partner organizations like Global GLOW.
With that background, I want to welcome you to read our 2024 Year in Review, which talks about how it takes a village to empower girls through education. This year, we had many things to be proud of in our village, including the welcoming of 28 new Bahinis into our family, seeing 18 more graduates, and providing training on computers to hundreds. However, our village had many challenges as well, including things like how to provide for basics like food, so I am grateful for our team supporting lunch programs in some of our partner schools where we served over a 100,000 meals this year. We also provide health advocacy, access, and education for our students and the general community. A healthy village is a prosperous village. This year, our village also suffered from flooding and landslides that destroyed homes, roads and school, and even causing some deaths.. As a resilient village though, we came together to help to rebuild. Any success we have had is only possible as a collective village, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our donors and supporters throughout the world who are a part of that same village. We hope you enjoy our review of 2024.
