Manzil enables access to quality vocational/skill education & economic opportunities to empower young girls aged 14-21 years to independently and make their own choices, thereby preventing early marriage and delaying the age at first pregnancy in select six districts of Rajasthan, India. The project focuses on mapping girls’ aspirations, linking them with the training opportunities, connecting and improving the quality of skill-based training. The project also provides right information to girls. It helps them access decent work opportunities to address regressive social norms at the community level that hinder women’s participation in the workforce.
