Help improve education for a poor child

Impact

Radha lives at Butai Tola village in Sampatchak Block of Patna. Her father passed away in a road accident, leaving behind Radha's mother and her four sisters. Because of poor financial condition at home, Radha had to discontinue her studies.One day, ADD came to know about her and the reason because of which she had stopped going to school. Their team visited her house and after a few verifications, enrolled Radha in their education project. Now, 9-year-old Radha daily goes to school, where she is also provided with stationery and other school supplies. To help her catch up with her studies, ADD has also arranged for her after school coaching classes. In India, close to 53% of girls in the age group of 5 to 9 years are illiterate. More than 50% of them fail to enroll in school; those that do are likely to drop out by the age of 12. ADD is making a sincere effort to save children like Radha to drop out of school.

About The Program

Action for Development of Demos (ADD) had conducted a survey in the rural area which revealed that hundreds of poor children had never been to school in their lives or have dropped out of school for some reason or the other. It was also observed that education is not one of the priorities of the parents for their children. Parents who are mostly daily wage labourers, prefer their children to support them in earning whatever little they can. This makes these children miss the opportunity to read and write and bear the burden of livelihood instead of living their childhood.It then planned to educate the poor neglected children. They started by making parents aware about education's importance and convincing them to send their children to school. They make them understand how education can be the step out of poverty for their children. They then started supporting economically poor children by taking care of their educational expenses including stationery, uniforms, books, tuition and coaching fees, How it works: Volunteers conduct regular surveys in the area and also visit each beneficiary individually to verify their identities, financial condition and other required information. On the basis of which, ADD selects the children to educate.Selected children are financially supported. Their tuition and coaching fees are taken care of by the ADD. It prefers to hand over the required fee to the educational institutions instead of giving cash to the beneficiaries or their parents.Beneficiaries are kept under observation with the help of school administration, to keep a record of their attendance and academic performance.The team also makes regular visits to the beneficiaries' houses to motivate the parents to continue sending their child to school.The progress reports of all the beneficiaries together determine the success of the project and hence ADD strives to improve it every day.
