The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Kiawah Trust, and Dasra launched the “10to19: Dasra Adolescents Collaborative” to empower more than five million adolescents in India by 2021.
 
The new collaborative will reach out to girls and boys between ages 10-19 years and will work directly with adolescents to help girls stay in school; delay their age at marriage; improve awareness about gender-based violence, nutrition, menstrual hygiene, reproductive rights; increase employment opportunities; and improve decision-making skills.
