India is home to 254 million adolescents. Although these young girls and boys have the potential to transform India, they lack the basic resources and agency to do so. They are restricted by poor access to facilities such as sanitation, education and healthcare, as well as deep rooted socio-cultural norms.

Dasra intends to transform the vulnerable period of adolescence, by creating an environment in which adolescents are safe, heard and celebrated. By investing in adolescents, especially girls, we aspire to create agents of multi-generational change and economic impact.
