Shefali Jariwala Rise Foundation
Shefali Jariwala Rise Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering underprivileged girls from rural and economically weak backgrounds. We believe that every girl deserves access to education, emotional support, and opportunities to live a life of dignity, confidence, and independence.
What We Do
Why NGOs Are Important for Girls in India?
Why Girls in India Face Big Challenges Today
Child Marriage Still Affects Millions
Around 23% of women aged 20–24 in India were married before the age of 18, meaning almost 1 in 4 girls lose their childhood and education due to early marriage.
Millions of Girls Leave School Early
School enrolment drops sharply as girls get older: nearly 47.2% of girls aged 16–17 are not enrolled in school, showing that nearly half don’t continue their education through higher levels.
Educational Barriers
Poor school infrastructure, lack of menstrual hygiene facilities, safety concerns, and traditional gender roles push millions of girls out of education early.
Because Every Girl Deserves a Future
At Shefali Jariwala Rise Foundation, we believe that a girl’s future should not be defined by poverty, loss, or circumstances beyond her control. Every girl deserves the right to education, emotional safety, and the opportunity to become independent and confident.
Across India, thousands of girls are forced to give up their dreams due to financial hardship, lack of support, or emotional trauma. We exist to change that reality. Through educational sponsorships, mental health support, and continuous mentorship, we stand beside girls who need help the most — from childhood until they are strong enough to stand on their own.
