Janani Home Building
Summary
This program aims to educate and empower children in slums and rural areas of Puducherry by offering evening remedial classes, counselling services, awareness and community-sensitizing programs.
Challenge
The government is trying to eradicate illiteracy and poverty through different programs. Sometimes, it is not reaching the unreached. The underprivileged children born into poverty and live in rural slums and rural villages are affected by a variety of societal challenges that prevents them from achieving their goals. For example, factors such as unemployment and alcoholism within the family, single parenthood, neglect and abandonment, force children to become labourers 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
Educating young generation is one of the nation building activities. Nevertheless the initiatives taken up by the government, Prime Trust is keen to bring tangible change in the community by offering education to the children. Evening school is one such tool that would help us to achieve the goal. The schools educates through remedial classes and experiential learning. We will also frequently conduct awareness programs related to physical, psychological and social issues faced by children. We will also provide counselling services during these hours. We will also teach them their rights and how to access them. The evening school will provide children with a structured after school environment; helping them spend time in a productive way towards their education.
Long-Term Impact
The main goal is to empower and reenergize the children to make their dreams come true. The awareness generation programs and counselling services will address needs of the children. 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.
