Additional Context: This quote was collected as part of The Aid Report’s original reporting, “US aid cuts yank Nepal’s girls out of school and into child marriage.” The feature story examined a short-lived U.S.-funded education program that brought teachers to villages where girls had never been permitted to attend school. When the program abruptly ended, many of those girls were left without a way to continue their education and faced renewed pressure to marry.

This quote is attributed to Ajay Kumar Yadav, program manager at Aasaman Nepal.
