About the Veerni Literacy Programme

Since 1993, the Veerni Project has worked to ensure that girls from disadvantaged communities can grow up educated, healthy, and confident. Through its two flagship programmes – the Veerni Institute and Veerni Balika – the organisation provides quality education, healthcare, nutrition, and life skills to more than 100 girls each year from remote desert villages around Jodhpur.

Through initiatives globally – like the Veerni Run/Walk in Orlando – Acumen teams and partners from around the world have come together to make a difference.
