Role of a Vision in Building an Organisation by Safeena Husain I EDGE 2019

Safeena Hussain, Founder and Executive Director, Educate Girls gave us an insight into the vision behind her impactful project in Rajasthan that managed to send 1.5 million girls back to school. The winner of this year’s Audacious Project, she underlined the power of vision and collaboration. Listing down the impact of educating a girl child, she commented, “It has been a proven fact now that education of girls accelerates growth across the societies of the world. It also fulfills 9 out of the 17 listed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

She further briefs us about her systematic and sustainable process that involved a painstaking process of door to door data collection, finding out the reason for dropouts and convincing the family to let the girls pursue school once again. Having a concrete vision has enabled her to execute the programme in a very systemic way.
