Women’s Literacy Project
Education for girls was unknown in Ladakh until 1992 when MIMC opened the first girl’s school and hostel. Women were uneducated at the time and so they were not candidates for any jobs involving reading and writing. The Women’s Literacy Project works to open the opportunity locally to village women who desire to learn these skills. Traditionally they were mainly confined to household and agricultural work. As Ladakh moves from an agrarian lifestyle into one more resembling the modern commerce, we believe it is important to offer this educational chance opening doors to jobs and new futures. Recently 5 centers were closed because they had been in operation for 5 years and 4 new ones opened in different villages in Ladakh.
