Baale Mane works to empower disadvantaged girls by providing a home, education and holistic development to girls from rural communities surrounding the city of Bangalore,India.

All of our girls attend school, in English medium if they have the aptitude or experience at the time that they join us. After school and pre university college, girls attend higher education or vocational training and we provide continued support until each girl is able to live a self-sustaining adult life.

Formal school education is supplemented through a wide variety of programmes, including girls’ rights awareness, life skills, job readiness sessions, sports and creative expression classes. In delivering these programmes we are supported by a wide variety of partner organisations.

Support is tailored to each individual girl’s needs. Many of our girls have experienced trauma in early life and professional counselling support is provided where needed.
