In rural areas like Jaisalmer, female literacy drops to 35.5%, leading to a cycle of poverty and unemployment for women. Child marriages and female infanticide are prevalent issues in the region. To address some of these challenges, the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls School was established by CITTA foundation in Jaisalmer in 2018 providing access to quality education for girls. Since its inception, I Love Jaisalmer has been a part of its support system. Today, the school serves 143 students and 7 teachers.
