Through 110+ government schools, 63 learning centres, and grassroots community initiatives focused on education, women empowerment, and inclusive development.
The year 2024–25 marked the 22 years of FACE journey, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to strengthen under-served communities through a range of impactful initiatives in education, health, children, women’s empowerment, leadership development, and grassroots awareness building.
This year, our work focused especially on Girls’ education and promoting Foundational subject competency development through SIIFLN in government schools for disadvantaged sections of society. Our consistent efforts have helped foster a strong demand at the community level for girls’ education. With expanding reach, FACE has successfully covered a large number of villages through various projects.
We also placed a strong emphasis on strengthening internal leadership and developing a skilled team that is driving the organization with renewed purpose and professionalism. In this milestone year, FACE has reached out to children, adolescents, and adult women, setting a new benchmark in outreach and impact.
Entering our third decade, we do so with heightened confidence, sharpened clarity, and a knowledge- and talent-driven approach. At FACE, we believe that knowledge, when transferred to the community, becomes a powerful tool for transformation. An empowered community contributes meaningfully to society and becomes a catalyst for sustainable change.
Our achievements would not have been possible without the collective efforts of our dedicated team, the support of our Governing Board, Donors and the involvement of our external stakeholders. Together, we have worked in a participatory and collaborative manner to advance our educational priorities and set the foundation for scaling our impact in the coming years.
Finally, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire FACE team for their tireless work in challenging conditions to uplift the most vulnerable women and children through education. We carry forward a shared dream—that every girl in rural and excluded communities receives quality and meaningful education, and grows into a responsible, informed, and empowered woman at the heart of her community.
Warm regards,
Ritu Pandey
Secretary, FACE
