The Inspiring Journey of Safeena Husain and “Educate Girls”

The story behind the Indian NGO that won the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2025

Introduction

The Foundation to Educate Girls Globally, widely known as Educate Girls, was founded in 2007 by Safeena Husain. The organization works primarily in rural and traditionally underserved regions of India to ensure access to education for girls.

Innovation and the Ramon Magsaysay Award — A Historic Achievement

In 2025, Educate Girls became the first Indian NGO to be honored with the Ramon Magsaysay Award — often described as “Asia’s Nobel Prize.”

The award ceremony will be held on November 7, 2025, in Manila. Winners will receive a medal bearing Magsaysay’s image, a certificate, and a cash prize.

Social Impact of Educate Girls

  • More than 2 million girls re-enrolled in schools across 30,000+ villages.
  • Over 2.4 million children received remedial education and learning support.
  • Programs with 90%+ retention rates, built on strong partnerships with local communities and government bodies.

Key Initiatives and Models

Development Impact Bond (DIB) — Launched in 2015, this was the world’s first DIB in the education sector, pioneering a performance-based funding model.

The Pragati open-schooling program began with just 300 young women (aged 15–29) and has now reached over 31,500 learners.

Safeena Husain described this recognition as a “historic moment for Educate Girls and for the country,” calling the movement “a community-driven girls’ education movement that started with just one girl.”

Looking ahead, Educate Girls aims to reach 10 million children in the next decade and expand into new geographies, including India’s North-East.
