A Girl Story is a unique donation-based film that brings to life the
experience of many underprivileged girls in India. This particular story is
told through the eyes of Tarla, a young girl who simply wants to go to
school and receive an education. Our project's goals are to raise awareness
about the challenges that girls like Tarla face, and to drive donations for
the nonprofit group Project Nanhi Kali.

Project Nanhi Kali (little bud) was founded in 1996 by K C Mahindra
Education Trust to provide 10 years of primary education to underprivileged
girls in India. Nanhi Kali has successfully evolved over the years into a
national girl sponsorship program, which supports the education of girl
children by providing not only academic support but also direct material
support in the form of uniforms, clothes, note books etc. The project
currently supports the education of over 58,000 underprivileged girl
children with a goal to grow this number significantly. K. C. Mahindra
Education Trust regularly monitors the NGOs giving technical inputs where
ever required to ensure that quality education is being imparted to all the
Nanhi Kali girls.
