Girl Icon Program
States
Karnataka
Madhya Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh
The Girl Icon Program is a girl-led and girl-centered approach, providing leadership based life -skills training to adolescent girls from marginalised families from rural Madhya Pradesh with a view to address gender inequalities by dismantling the social, economic, and cultural barriers preventing girls from exercising their voice, choice and potential.
The Program uses a leadership-building model, investing in building a movement of local girl leaders (Girl Icons) who provide guidance, support, and role modelling, serving as powerful role models and inspiration.
Through a combination of curriculum-based training, community engagement, leadership development, and role-modelling, the Girl Icon Program aims to transform not only the individual lives of girls but also build community perceptions towards gender equity, creating an enabling environment for girls to realize their full potential.

Swarachna School and Swarachna Girls' Hostel
District
Sitapur
States
Uttar Pradesh
Milaan, for the last 16 years, has been running a senior secondary school called ‘Swarachna School’ in Kaintain village of Sitapur district, Uttar Pradesh. Since its founding days, the school has served first- generation learners with quality education and holistic child development, with an emphasis on girls’ education and the completion of 12 years of schooling. In 2021, to address the dire need to act here and now, Milaan expanded its school space and initiated a free-of-cost hostel by building a dedicated hostel for 120 girls. With a focus on identifying girls from some of the most vulnerable families and communities, the hostel began to serve girls between the ages of 10 and 15 from grades 6th to 9th in October 2021. The school provides access to quality secondary education towards the completion of 12 years of senior secondary education, while the hostel focuses on meeting the end-to-end needs of girls. Currently, we have more than 600+ students which also includes our 84 hostel girls.

Girl Icon Alumni Network

Uttar Pradesh
The Girl Icon Alumni Network is a thriving network of empowered young women who have shown proven abilities and commitment to lead social change for themselves and their communities. The three pillars of the Girl Icon Alumni Network: connected, engaged, and committed remain a cornerstone for the growth of young women in the network. The commonality in the experiences shared by the alumni network is the Girl Icon Program, which offered them a chance to develop a shared vocabulary of this experience and personal development.
Some alumni network girls are engaged as ‘Program Assistants’ and as we have envisioned the strategy for scaling the Girl Icon Program over the next two years, the role of the Alumni Network in the expansion of the program has
gained significance.The Girl Icon Alumni Network Network has focused on listening to the needs of
girls and engaging them through various sessions, internship opportunities,
and scholarships to continue their higher education, their leadership journey,
and to continue working towards empowering themselves and others. These
learnings are drawn from the quarterly alumni meetings held with alumni from
all three states: Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. We continue
to collaborate with several like-minded organisations to plan sessions and
drive engagement as per the needs of the girls. -
