Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.65,0:02:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it is this mindset

Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.44,0:02:40.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's this belief that a goat is an asset,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.51,0:03:10.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so this is a team that we are creating\Nfor the girl child.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.43,0:03:14.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so once we recruit\Nour community volunteers,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.06,0:03:24.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the first piece we do\Nis about identifying every single girl

Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.71,0:03:29.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the way we do it\Nis a little different and high-tech,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.97,0:03:46.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has digital maps of where\Nthey're going to be conducting the survey,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.46,0:03:48.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it has the survey in it,\Nall the questions,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.78,0:03:51.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little guides on how best\Nto conduct the survey,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.65,0:03:55.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the data that comes to us\Nis in real time and is of good quality.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.82,0:03:58.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So armed with this,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.11,0:04:01.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our teams and our volunteers\Ngo door-to-door
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.52,0:04:05.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to every single household\Nto find every single girl

Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.24,0:04:11.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And because we have this data\Nand technology piece,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.53,0:04:15.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very quickly we can figure out\Nwho the girls are and where they are.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.52,0:04:17.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because each of our villages\Nare ge-otagged
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.94,0:04:20.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we can actually\Nbuild that information out

Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.53,0:04:25.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so once we know where the girls are,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.15,0:04:28.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we actually start the process\Nof bringing them back into school.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.92,0:04:31.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that actually is just\Nour community mobilization process,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.84,0:04:35.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it starts with village meetings,\Nneighborhood meetings,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.28,0:04:39.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and as you see, individual counseling\Nof parents and families,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.24,0:04:41.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be able to bring the girls\Nback into school.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.90,0:04:46.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this can take anything\Nfrom a few weeks to a few months.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.64,0:04:50.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And once we bring the girls\Ninto the school system,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.10,0:04:51.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we also work with the schools
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.53,0:04:55.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make sure that schools\Nhave all the basic infrastructure
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.44,0:04:57.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the girls would be able to stay.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.38,0:05:00.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this would include\Nseparate toilet for girls,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.22,0:05:01.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,drinking water,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.86,0:05:04.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things that will help them to be retained.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.88,0:05:08.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But all of this would be useless\Nif our children weren't learning.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.66,0:05:10.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we actually run a learning program.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.59,0:05:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a supplementary\Nlearning program,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.73,0:05:16.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's very, very important,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.05,0:05:19.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because most of our children\Nare first-generation learners.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.93,0:05:22.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That means there's nobody at home\Nto help them with homework,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.86,0:05:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's nobody who can support\Ntheir education.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.08,0:05:26.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Their parents can't read and write.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.79,0:05:28.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's really, really key
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.44,0:05:32.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we do the support\Nof the learning in the classrooms.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.62,0:05:34.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is essentially our model,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.53,0:05:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of finding,\Nbringing the girls in,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.86,0:05:39.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making sure that\Nthey're staying and learning.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.49,0:05:41.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we know that our model works.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.13,0:05:44.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we know this because
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.06,0:05:47.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a most recent randomized\Ncontrol evaluation
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.22,0:05:48.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,confirms its efficacy.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.81,0:05:54.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our evaluator found\Nthat over a three-year period
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.54,0:05:59.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Educate Girls was able to bring back\N92 percent of all out-of-school girls

Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.02,0:06:09.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in terms of learning,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.48,0:06:12.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our children's learning\Nwent up significantly
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.13,0:06:14.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as compared to control schools.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.27,0:06:18.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So much so, that it was\Nlike an additional year of schooling

Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.100,0:06:21.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's enormous,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.40,0:06:24.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you think about a tribal child\Nwho's entering the school system

Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.06,0:06:29.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here we have a model that works,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.47,0:06:31.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we know it's scalable,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.46,0:06:35.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are already functioning\Nat 13,000 villages.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.19,0:06:45.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we work in partnership\Nwith the community,
