In many rural areas of Tamil Nadu, young girls face significant challenges in continuing their education due to the long distance between their homes and the nearest school. With limited or no access to reliable public transport, and schools often located more than five kilometers away, many girls are unable to attend regularly and eventually drop out after middle school. Most of these students are the first in their families to attend school, and the lack of safe and consistent transport becomes a major obstacle to their learning journey.

To address this, the Eureka “You Go Girl” Cycle Campaign, supported by Radiant Foundation, provides bicycles to school-going girls in remote villages. This simple intervention has already transformed the lives of over 100 girls across five districts in Tamil Nadu. For girls who once walked miles or waited uncertainly for a bus, owning a cycle has brought freedom, confidence, and continued access to school.
