Barli Institute

Barli's mission is “To initiate and build the process of sustainable development through empowerment of young rural and tribal women to become agents of social change. In this process Barli is focused on building their capacity with a wide range of skills and knowledge needed to improve the lives of their families, their communities and themselves.”

Barli Institute has received numerous awards. It was recognized by UNESCO as one of the top 100 education projects in developing countries, and was listed on the UN Environmental Programme's Global 500 Roll of Honor. The project has been funded by a European agency but this funding will end in a few months. Barli has reached out to Mona Foundation for help with general operating support so that they may continue assisting thousands of underserved rural women in one of the poorest provinces of India.  Click here to learn more.
