Our Impact
We’re a small team working in a few villages, and these are the things we’ve actually seen happen.
The pilot is working.
Now we want to grow it.
EBB started with three girls and one Devotee in Tehsil Rohri.
Since then, we’ve seen girls passing exams, families changing their minds, women starting businesses from their own rooms.
This tells us this model is worth building on.
Changes on the Ground
Girls are Studying. That alone is not a small thing in these communities.
- Back in education after stopping after matric
- Earning income within months of starting a business
- More confident in speaking up at home

The attitudes are shifting, quietly, slowly, for real.
