Educate Girls Globally (EGG) transforms the lives of girls through education, leading to large-scale, sustainable social change throughout the developing world. As a valued partner, EGG leverages underutilized government investments in education and encourages all stakeholders to promote school reform. Since 2002, EGG's model has benefited over 600,000 girls and nearly one million total students in India. In 2013, EGG launched a new empowerment program for girls in secondary schools that boosts their confidence and leadership skills while improving the access and quality of their education.
Educate Girls Globally (EGG) was founded in 1999 by A. Lawrence Chickering. His background in public policy ignited EGG’s strategy for partnering with governments to promote girls’ education and reform government schools.
In 2002, EGG’s first operational project began in 50 government schools in Uttarakhand, India. Working with a local partner, the pilot encompassed 1,400 primary schools. In 2006, EGG expanded into Rajasthan, India by partnering with the State Ministry of Education and the World Economic Forum. Growing from 50 to 500 schools by 2008, EGG founded an independent organization to increase its impact in India. The project served one entire district – 2,342 schools enrolling 260,000 children – and later extended into three more districts, reaching nearly 7,000 schools by 2014.
In 2013, EGG expanded its model to secondary education and launched a pilot project in Uttarakhand, India in 50 schools serving 22,000 girls. The pilot was completed in 2015 and EGG added a second district, now serving nearly 35,000 girls. Encouraged by the Ministries, EGG is now preparing to expand to 500 schools in Uttarakhand. To offer its school reform model into other countries, EGG is developing a cadre of expert trainers to improve girls’ education around the world.
