ATMA Uyare

Children residing in Child Care Institutions like orphanages face major difficulties in academics. Due to lack of parental care and poor nutrition in early childhood, their physical and emotional health is usually poor. They suffer from low confidence levels and poor self esteem. They also lack the motivation and the skills for learning. Their ambitions are limited. Also for most such homes, their priority is the safety and other basic needs of their wards. Even though these children attend regular schools, their educational aspirations and achievement motivation remain low. With the schools now remaining closed, the situation is even worse. The children need continuous learning support and achievement motivation.

Our present project, ATMA ‘UYARE’, aims to empower the children in CCIs with better education and life skills, through online tutoring & mentoring support. Through this project, we organise regular online sessions on the basics of different subjects- Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies and Malayalam. Children from Std V to XII attend the sessions. Qualified and skilled volunteer teachers handle the sessions. The project envisions to bridge the  gaps in the academic learning of students in child care institutions. Personalised, interactive sessions with formal and informal follow-ups ensure that the students are given a strong foundational knowledge of subjects.
