Why Prayosha: Prayosha works for girl child education and financially supports girls who are performing well in their academics. Girls coming from weak economic backgrounds face challenges in continuing with their studies as their parents can often not afford the fees or they give priority to educating the boy in the family. At RVES we encourage girl education since we believe in gender equality. The values and objectives of Prayosha co-align with those of RVES, therefore we are happy to be in association with Prayosha and participate in their goal of educating and empowering more and more girls in the near future.
