Fantastic Web Documentary on Nanhi Kali Developed By WISE
It was in 2009 that Nanhi Kali was selected as one of the 6 laureates by Qatar Foundation for the WISE Summit (World Innovation Summit for Education) held in Doha. Qatar Foundation has recently announced the dates for the 2010 summit in December in Doha. In addition to celebrating Award winners each year, the WISE team has been keenly following the projects of past laureates. With the intention to showcase Nanhi Kali’s achievements they have produced a web documentary which will be shown at the summit.
Our previous conception of the NGO Naandi foundation based in Hyderabad (with whom we would be interning) was that it is a charity which helps impoverished young girls achieve their right to an education. However, the sheer magnitude and the scale of the social enterprise was evident from the CEO Manoj Kumars’s ambition to take over the responsibility of government education within five years. Our main focus throughout the 15 day internship was on Project Nanhi Kali – for the girl child.
