In a world that is becoming increasingly progressive, there is a pressing need to ensure that every child, regardless of their gender, has access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for personal growth. In many parts of the world, girls face unique challenges and barriers to these opportunities. India, a country renowned for its rich culture and diversity, is no exception. However, amidst these challenges, there shines a beacon of hope - Nalam.
