Activities:
The
Foundation is focused on the following tasks:
-
Running
a chain of Balwadis or para-schools in villages
for children in the age group 3-8 years.The schools
are staffed with the most educated people from
the village, and focus on providing elementary
education (Mathematics, science, art/craft, social
skills) in addition serving as a nucleus for basic
healthcare (vaccinations, checkups) and wellbeing
(distribution of clothes, blankets, school material
etc.)
-
Inculcating
discipline and grooming habits in tribal children
-
Working
with district authorities to ensure adequate government
aid or intervention is provided to
these communities whenever such a scheme is launched.
It has helped in having tube wells / pump
sets have been installed in these villages, panchayat
huts been made and blankets distributed
whenever such a scheme has been launched by the
government. It thus acts as both an influencer
and a monitoring agency for these villages.
The
Foundation currently runs 7 schools and touches the
lives of almost 600 children. Our plans are to
scale this up significantly in the near future. |
