Educate & Care for 100 Girls in Puducherry

Summary

We aim to transform the lives of underprivileged young girls living at the Janani home by providing food, shelter, education and health care.

Challenge

The girl children are not given equal opportunity as that of boys. On survey, it is found that many girls in Pondicherry are not provided resources they need to acquire good education, live a safe life and overcome obstacles that women in India have to face. Young women are discriminated so they are not given the same type of educational opportunities as their male counterparts. Additionally, many come from poor families that do not have the financial resources to support them. Most are unaware of resources that could help them with their struggles.

Solution

Janani home provides proper shelter, food, health care, education and structured day for the young girls living there. Their stay is comfortable, clean and supervised by several adults. They attend evening school daily and various extracurricular activities such as art, dancing and singing are offered. This consistence and active work being done at the Janani home is sure to leave lasting and positive impact on the girls who call this place home.

Long-Term Impact

The girls will be brought up in an environment that will equip them with the tools to lead a self-reliant life. We remove the children from neglectful and abusive homes, and give them a chance to be surrounded by loving individuals. The nutritional, medical and educational care they receive will create a structured and safe life. The Janani home also provides a safe place where they girls can be nurtured, as children, and become productive members of society, when they reach adulthood.
