Educate Girls is a non-profit organization in India, established in 2007, founded by Safeena Husain, that works towards girls' education in India's rural and educationally backward areas by mobilizing communities.

It currently operates in over 20,000 villages in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. By leveraging the Government's existing investment in schools and by engaging with a huge base of community volunteers, Educate Girls helps to identify, enroll and retain out-of-school girls and to improve foundational skills in literacy and numeracy for all children (both girls and boys). Since its inception in 2007, the organization has reached over 24 million total beneficiaries, and has helped mobilize communities to enroll over 2 million out-of-school girls in school. In 2025, it became the first Indian organization to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award.

Educate Girls is a nonprofit organization that promotes and supports girls' education in the remotest and rural and educationally backward parts of India. It works in partnership with the Government of India and operates over 20,000 villages of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It engages with a huge base of community volunteers and in the process helps to identify, enroll, retain out-of-school girls and improve foundational skills in literacy and numeracy for all children. The organization had announced in 2020 its selection in the list of HundrED 2021 Global Collection organized by Internationally renowned Finland-based global education not-for-profit HundrED, which discovers, researches, and shares inspiring innovations in K12 education from around the world. Educate Girls' innovation was reviewed by 150 Academy members consisting of academics, educators, innovators, funders and leaders from over 50 countries.

Educate Girls creates community ownership to help communities to prioritize girls' education. The model includes the following elements:

Safeena Husain was born and brought up in New Delhi and holds a B.S. from the London School of Economics and was always been committed to girls' education in India and abroad and has worked extensively in this area even in the third-world countries of South America, Africa and Asia and had also been elected as one of the Asia 21 Young Leaders by the Asia Society.

Educate Girls has over 23,000 Team Balika (community volunteers) who work as champions for girls' education in their respective villages. Team Balika members work with Government schools as well as village communities to spread awareness on girl child education. Team Balika are trained in community mobilization and outreach (door-to-door surveys, enrolment activities, conducting community meetings), learning curriculum (GKP) implementation, leadership and motivation. They are mostly between the ages of 18 and 30 and are often among the most educated members of their communities. Each Team Balika is given continuous training and hand-holding by Educate Girls throughout the year to facilitate their efforts.

After using existing Government data and door-to-door surveys (conducted by Educate Girls) to identify out-of-school girls in the area, responsibility is then distributed between the village leaders, elders, school administration, Team Balika and Educate Girls' staff to bring girls back to school. This often involves going door-to-door to convince parents to send their girls to school and rallying the community through Gram Shiksha Sabha's and Mohalla Meetings.

At village meetings a 15-member council is elected to form the School Management Committee (SMC). This consists of parents, teachers and village leaders and is responsible for school governance and administration. Educate Girls handholds the committee members and provides them with support to prepare and execute School Improvement Plans (SIPs) and conduct school assessments.
