Empowering Futures: The Kadam Education Initiative

The Kadam Education Initiative (KEI) is a transformative program by the Centre for Development (CfD), established in 1996 by Meera Malek. Originally focused on ending child labor in Ahmedabad's urban communities, KEI has evolved to address deeper issues affecting girls, particularly those from single-parent households.

In these underprivileged communities, daughters of widowed, divorced, or abandoned women often face neglect, abuse, and forced labor. Many girls are forced to drop out of school or face early marriages. KEI is dedicated to reversing these harsh realities by providing educational opportunities and support to help these girls stay in school and build brighter futures. Through heart-to-heart engagements with families and a commitment to education, KEI is changing lives and offering hope where it’s needed most.

Join us in supporting this vital cause and making a difference in the lives of young girls.
