Summary
The objective of this project is to educate and empower the children in slums and rural areas of Puducherry by offering evening remedial classes, counseling services, awareness, and community-sensitizing programs.
Challenge
The children born into poverty face challenges such as neglect and abandonment, lack of guidance, and support from their parents, lack of education. Due to alcoholism and poverty, the families force their children to take up menial work which makes their children away from school. The girl children sometimes forced to marry at an early age or sometimes even prostitution.
Solution
The Evening School helps the children to come out of their physical, psychological, and social issues through counseling and guidance. This program helps the children to get interested in learning. Regular monitoring will make the children be good at their studies.
Long-Term Impact
The main goal is to empower and reenergize the children to pursue their dreams. The awareness programs and counseling services will address the children’s' needs holistically. We hope that awareness about oneself and society will help these children to develop a strong personal identity paired with coping and life skills. In addition, we hope that the children take these lessons into adulthood.
Updates:
Due to the pandemic, the schools are closed and it will be organized from November 2020.
