The spirit of the ‘Educating Girl Child’ program is to support education and create opportunities for little girls who otherwise do not have access to education, where most of them are first-generation learners. Intuit aims to provide a platform for the next generation’s young girls to grow and access quality education that would enable them to be the change-makers of tomorrow. “

Diversity and inclusion are a part of the company’s DNA and Intuit focuses on creating an environment that encourages everyone to grow. As part of their larger effort to bridge the education gap for women/girls in India, Intuit India launched the Educating Girl Child Project in partnership with the Concern India Foundation in 2017. Through this program, for every women employee who joins Intuit, we sponsor the education of one girl child.
