Nanhi Kali
The Nanhi Kali organization helps support education for underprivileged girls in India. Help raise funds to provide a better future for these girls!
Nanhi Kali is a project of the Mahindra Foundation of India, supporting education for underprivileged girls. Recognizing that the education of women and girls is beneficial to all societies worldwide, a group of Syracuse University students run the Nanhi Kali Syracuse University chapter. The Hindi name, Nanhi Kali (NAHN-hee Kah-LEE) means “little flower bud.” Nanhi Kali raises funds to sponsor uniforms, school supplies and tuition costs for girls in India who are otherwise unable to attend elementary or middle school on their own. Our group also encourages interaction among students and increases awareness of the cause of education for women and girls worldwide. During the past year, the SU student group has again sponsored education for 52 girls, a number that has steadily grown since the group initially formed and sponsored its first three “Nanhi Kalis” in early 2010.
