Visitors can buy specific items, such as a backpack, workbooks, or school shoes for a girl pictured on the site. The site has received over 3 million hits till date, raising enough funds to send hundreds of girls to school, and has also received global media coverage: Forbes.com, Huffington Post, etc.
A Girl Story is a unique, donation-based film series that combines technology, film, and storytelling to shed light on the global challenge of educating young girls. The animated, emotional story follows the path of a young Indian girl named Tarla who wants to go to school to better her life. Whether she succeeds, however, is completely up to you, because Tarla's story progresses only by audience donations that unlock new chapters within the YouTube film series. To ensure a smooth, filmic quality, each YouTube video is programmed to allow Tarla to seamlessly transition from one frame to the next.
