Empowering Futures: The Kadam Education Initiative

The Kadam Education Initiative(KEI) is a transformative program established in 1996 by Meera Malek. Originally focused on ending child labor in Ahmedabad's urban communities, KET 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.

Kadam Education Initiative (KEI), a program under Kadam Education Trust (KET), is driven by the vision of "Education for Each and Everyone." Since its inception in 2012, KEI program has supported the education of children from poor and vulnerable communities. Rooted in the belief that every child deserves equal opportunities to build a life of dignity, KEI has been taking ‘small steps towards reclaiming childhood.’ The initiative focuses on enabling Quality Education for Adolescent Girls, acknowledging the harsh reality that many girls are forced to drop out of school as they approach adolescence, often to prepare for marriage. Through KEI program, young girls are empowered, and pathways are created for a brighter, more equitable future.
