Empowering Girls Through Education: Movement for Action's Vision

Movement for Action is on a mission to transform lives through education, with a special focus on empowering girls and young women in developing countries. Our innovative approach targets the heart of inequality, addressing socio-economic challenges that have left too many behind.

The Global Education Gap

While progress has been made, significant disparities persist:

Education Level Global Completion Rate Low-Income Countries Primary 89% < 67% Lower Secondary 77% 33%

Beyond Enrollment: A Holistic Approach

We believe that true empowerment comes from:

  • Completing all levels of education

  • Developing marketable skills

  • Fostering decision-making abilities

  • Encouraging community contribution

The Ripple Effect of Girls' Education

Investing in girls' education creates a powerful catalyst for change:

  • Healthier communities: Educated women make informed health choices

  • Economic growth: Increased participation in the formal labor market

  • Family well-being: Later marriages, fewer children, better childcare

  • Poverty reduction: Lifting households and nations out of poverty

Our Unique Approach

Movement for Action stands out through our direct, community-focused model:

  1. Targeted assistance: We channel donations directly to communities in need

  2. Customized solutions: Programs tailored to specific local challenges

  3. Collaborative spirit: Partnering with existing organizations to amplify impact

Join the Movement

By educating all children, especially girls, we lay the foundation for prosperous societies and cultures. Together, we can create a world where every girl has the opportunity to reach her full potential and contribute to a brighter future.

Areas of Concern


Education Infrastructure

Facilities have to be provided to have safe educational environments for students.


Education strategy

Upper secondary school-aged children belong to the group most in danger of permanently falling out of the education system. We are proud to bridge that gap by providing scholarships for students who are facing financial difficulties and a lack of opportunities.


Girls education

Nearly 800 million people are illiterate and two thirds are women and girls. We have the power to change that.


EDucation initiative

We strive to provide child development programs, empowering children to rebuild their future and support their families and, in turn, the wider community.


Education that matters

Our goal is to provide educational support to areas that lack infrastructure for schools.


Education for all

We aim to implement cultural and educational projects which improve skills and raise awareness of the importance of reading as a route to self-development and positive futures.

Our Mission

The Movement for Action is an independent organization dedicated to fostering collaboration with communities, grassroots organizations, and governmental agencies in developing regions. Our mission is to design and deliver vital educational projects that empower the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

We strive to act both proactively and responsively, addressing critical regional challenges and providing targeted support where it is needed most.

By promoting good governance and inclusive policies, we aim to create environments where societies can thrive. Through direct engagement with diverse stakeholders, we seek to share insights, encourage innovative solutions, and drive impactful educational initiatives.

Strategic Framework and Action Initiatives

We aspire to a society where basic education and literacy are accessible to all, where young minds are cultivated and where children are given the tools to build positive futures for themselves and for those around them.

To Bring together organizations and individuals to target specific communities in South Asia and elsewhere to encourage education for girls by making it socially and financially motivating for families and the government.

Sample initiatives:

  • To provide free tuition through government sponsored or private scholarships for families who send their children to school for as long as they send them to school. 

  • Tax breaks for multinational or other corporations to help fund educational projects in communities most in need.

  • To provide free breakfasts and/or lunches to students enrolled in school to ease the burden on families in need..  Agricultural enterprises participate in donations of food and expertise to help communities provide nutritional resources to schools in exchange for subsidies.

  • Guaranteed  jobs after graduation (especially for  teachers). Focus on Teacher education and training, Health care (especially maternal health and assistance), Govt. officials (gender policy and concerns), and provide tax breaks to companies who hire graduates.

    Strategic Action Initiative Framework

    Every project undertaken will be guided by a Strategic Action Initiative Framework in which goals and objectives are based on solid research identifying the specific problems of a community, how these problems impact the community, identifying the most important goals and the steps (objectives) needed to reach those goals. Also identified are groups which can help support our initiatives and the roles they will play in the project. It is also important to look closely at possible obstacles which may impact the success of our project. These may be governmental, political, cultural or social obstacles and these need to be forecast before any action is taken. A brief outline of our Strategic Action Initiative Framework.

  • Community in which the project will be focused

  • What is the problem? A detailed explanation of the problem(s) to be focused on.

  • Why is the Action Initiative necessary? Specific data, facts, case studies illustrating how the problem is negatively impacting the community.

  • Goals and Objectives: What do we hope the Action Initiative will achieve? What is the hoped for result if the Action Initiative is successful with detailed statistics and verifiable outcomes.

  • Resource Access in the Community: What types of resources does the community have now and what resources are needed for the Action Initiative to be successful.

  • Action Outline: Detailed timeline of steps to be taken from start to finish for the Action Initiative to succeed. This will include a specific timeline with dates and funding needs to achieve desired outcomes with regard to objectives and goals.

  • What other organization(s) will help put this plan into effect? Identifying appropriate organizations who have strengths in the areas needed for specific projects and who have similar values as Movement for Action.

  • Obstacles (potential problems with the plan): These may be governmental, political, cultural or social obstacles which need to be forecast before any action is taken.
