The Rolling School offers an extraordinary free educational program for women in rural areas. 

Because many young women in the rural areas are put into work at a far too early age in life, they have never had the opportunity for a proper education and now are struggling with illiteracy as an adult.

According to UNICEF, poverty, early marriage, cultural barriers, distance from schools, inadequate sanitation facilities, a lack of female teachers, and safety concerns on the way to school are among the factors contributing to low female education rates in rural areas. Another factor is the need for girls to perform household chores, which makes it difficult for them to physically attend school for an extended period, and in many rural areas there are simply no schools for miles around.
