About Bhartiya Mahila Evam Gramin Utthan Sansthan (BMGUS)

BMGUS is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering marginalized communities, particularly women and rural populations, in Uttar Pradesh.

Mission: To break the cycle of poverty through education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihood initiatives.

Focus Areas:

• Women's Empowerment
• Education
• Healthcare
• Sustainable Livelihoods
• Community Development

Our Goal: To create a self-reliant, equitable, and prosperous society.

The Problem

In the remote district of Basti, Uttar Pradesh, children from SC and OBC communities face a harsh reality. According to the 2023 ASER report by PRATHAM, 12.6% of children drop out after Grade VI, with villages like Hasni and Chota Karma seeing dropout rates as high as 84%.

Despite schools in these villages, the distant location of junior high schools, combined with inadequate resources and teaching methods, contributes to high dropout rates. Without the support of family or community, these children often fall into child labor or early marriage, perpetuating the cycle of poverty and exclusion.

Our Solution: Sure Start Fellowship

Short Term: We will engage local youth Fellows to teach in community learning centers, filling the gaps in education and preventing dropouts. These Fellows will also work with families, raising awareness about the importance of education and collaborating with community leaders, local organizations, and government bodies to improve access and resources.

Long Term: Fellows will become advocates for change, building alliances with organizations and government agencies to address the underlying issues of marginalization. Together, we aim to break the cycle of poverty by making education a priority in these communities.

• Morning: Community mobilization through awareness campaigns and parental engagement to prevent and eliminate dropouts.
• Afternoon: Bridging learning gaps by teaching in learning centers to ensure children reach their grade-level proficiency.

Our Goals

We are starting in 5 villages, supporting Grades 1-5 and impacting 500+ students. Over the next 5 years, we aim to expand to 10 villages, supporting Grades 1-8, impacting over 5000 students.

Our broader goals include:

• Impacting 100,000+ people across 10+ districts
• Building partnerships with 20+ organizations and government agencies
• Establishing a resource center and training hub
• Fostering a strong alumni network and community engagement
