Summary
The program aims to educate and empower children in slums and rural areas of Puducherry by offering evening remedial classes, counseling services, awareness and community-sensitizing programs.
Challenge
Children born into poverty are affected by a variety of societal challenges that prevent them from achieving their goals. The unemployment, alcoholism within the family, single parenthood, neglect and abandonment, force children to become laborers either during or after school. Illiterate parents can't assist in doing homework, worsening children's disinterest in education. Additionally, limited educational resources, poor infrastructure leave these children behind.
Solution
The Evening school helps the children to strengthen their level of education, motivates them to attend school regularly. The conduct of awareness programs on child rights, benefits of having education and moral values will help the children to travel in a right path.
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 childrens' 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 their adulthood.
