Many of the girls from our program in Sambhali Project Jodhpur have had little or no education. In an attempt to help these girls and their families we have set up the literacy program. Through sponsorship we send some of the girls, who are eager to learn more, back to school. Furthermore, we also provide education for the girl’s own children in order to ensure that the cycle of illiteracy and poverty is not continued.
In order to provide for their education, each child requires approximately 8.000 rupees (about US$ 200) a year to cover uniforms, books, school supplies, tuition, and transportation to and from school. All 13 participants of the literacy program are enrolled in a private school located close to their homes and attend for 4 hours every day. The participants, who are enrolled in grades Kindergarten to the 7th class, are educated in a broad range of topics including English, Math's, Science, General Knowledge, Social Studies (Geography, History and Civics), Sanskrit if the child is in the 6th standard and above and Computer class from 1st standards.
Education is so curial to these children’s futures because it serves as the foundation for their economic independence. With a female literacy of 58 % rate, many of Jodhpur’s girls and young women are lacking in basic education. Without basic literary skills, these women will find it difficult to support themselves in the long term, access health education, and improve their quality of life. What’s more, for the sons and daughters of these women, education is the only means of ensuring that they can care for their families and pursue their own goals. These women and children need our support and aid. Please help and support our Sambhali Project girls and their families to attend schools. |
