Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.67,0:02:33.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it is this mindset

Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.46,0:02:40.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's this belief that a goat is an asset

Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.67,0:02:48.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My organization Educate Girls\Nworks to change this.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.50,0:03:10.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so this is a team that we are creating\Nfor the girl child.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.42,0:03:14.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so once we recruit\Nour community volunteers,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.46,0:03:20.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's when our work starts.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.04,0:03:24.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the first piece we do\Nis about identifying every single girl

Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.71,0:03:29.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the way we do it\Nis a little different and high-tech,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.96,0:03:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at least in my view.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.29,0:03:35.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Each of our frontline staff\Nhave a smartphone.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.96,0:03:46.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has digital maps of where\Nthey're going to be conducting the survey,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.46,0:03:48.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it has the survey in it,\Nall the questions,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.79,0:03:51.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little guides on how best\Nto conduct the survey,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.67,0:03:55.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the data that comes to us\Nis in real time and is of good quality.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.83,0:03:58.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So armed with this,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.12,0:04:01.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our teams and our volunteers\Ngo door-to-door
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.54,0:04:05.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to every single household\Nto find every single girl

Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.25,0:04:11.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And because we have this data\Nand technology piece,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.54,0:04:15.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very quickly we can figure out\Nwho the girls are and where they are.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.50,0:04:17.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because each of our\Nvillages are geotagged,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.96,0:04:20.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we can actually\Nbuild that information out
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.38,0:04:21.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very, very quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.54,0:04:25.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so once we know where the girls are,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.17,0:04:28.89,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: 0,0:04:31.83,0:04:35.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it starts with village meetings,\Nneighborhood meetings,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.29,0:04:39.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and as you see, individual counseling\Nof parents and families,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.25,0:04:41.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be able to bring the girls\Nback into school.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.92,0:04:46.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this can take anything\Nfrom a few weeks to a few months.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.62,0:04:50.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And once we bring the girls\Ninto the school system,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.08,0:04:51.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we also work with the schools
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.54,0:04:55.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make sure that schools\Nhave all the basic infrastructure
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.46,0:04:57.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the girls will be able to stay.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.39,0:05:00.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this would include\Na separate toilet for girls,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.21,0:05:01.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,drinking water,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.83,0:05:04.85,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: 0,0:05:08.67,0:05:11.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we actually run a learning program.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.58,0:05:13.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a supplementary\Nlearning program,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.71,0:05:16.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's very, very important,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.04,0:05:19.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because most of our children\Nare first-generation learners.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.92,0:05:22.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That means there's nobody at home\Nto help them with homework,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.83,0:05:25.06,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: 0,0:05:26.79,0:05:28.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's really, really key
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.46,0:05:32.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we do the support\Nof the learning in the classrooms.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.62,0:05:34.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is essentially our model,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.54,0:05:36.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of finding,\Nbringing the girls in,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.88,0:05:39.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making sure that\Nthey're staying and learning.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.50,0:05:42.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we know that our model works.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.12,0:05:44.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we know this because
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.04,0:05:47.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a most recent randomized\Ncontrol evaluation
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.21,0:05:48.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,confirms its efficacy.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.79,0:05:54.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our evaluator found\Nthat over a three-year period
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.54,0:05:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Educate Girls was able to bring back\N92 percent of all out-of-school girls

Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.00,0:06:09.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in terms of learning,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.46,0:06:12.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our children's learning\Nwent up significantly
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.12,0:06:14.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as compared to control schools.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.25,0:06:18.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So much so, that it was\Nlike an additional year of schooling

Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.00,0:06:21.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's enormous,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.42,0:06:24.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you think about a tribal child\Nwho's entering the school system

Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.04,0:06:29.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here we have a model that works;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.46,0:06:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we know it's scalable,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.46,0:06:35.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are already functioning\Nat 13,000 villages.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.42,0:06:42.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that it's\Nsustainable and systemic,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.21,0:06:45.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we work in partnership\Nwith the community,
