Harris Freeman Foundation and Tea India educating girls in India

    An India tea company are collaborating in a project assisted by Action Village India which will support 900 girls in rural Indian communities to continue their secondary education.

    As part of the partnership by Tea India, the Harris Freeman Foundation will be providing funds to support the girls’ education.

    The project will help girls aged between 12-17 years to continue their studies, who would have otherwise dropped out.

    It will also contribute to a reduction in child marriage and raise the standard of living for girls, boys, families, and communities.

    The project is based in Jharkhand and Bihar, both of which are regions with low levels of education, particularly amongst girls.
