We are fundraising for empowering the adolescent underprivileged girls. The girls and women from our work area do not have even basic literacy skills despite of their education till 8th or 10th class. When went into details, we got to know that the girls do not know the meaning of signature. They cannot even tell their age accurately. They never saw a Bank or Post office, the places of financial transactions. They do go for labour, earn some money but do not know about modern concepts of financial literacy, say, savings, investing etc.
We found that they lack the basic information about their body, such as why and what is the menstruation, hygiene related to it.
There are many reasons for this situation. We witness that there is no reading culture in tribal villages where we work. Overall level of education is not so good. In our survey conducted in 2014, of 728 households from 38 tribal villages, we found that 60% fathers and 46% mothers had gone to schools.
Our work with them focuses on building a safe space for young girls for interaction, expression and unlearning-learning, library being our strength we will establish it in the community for young girls. Regular sessions around the books are either mirror or window to the girls; it will open up many conversations regarding their own life, ideas and choices.
Working on the literacy skills of group will be practised through the library programme.
Sessions on financial literacy and knowing our own body will be integrated in the programme.
To help us work with these girls and impact their lives, we need your support and contribution.
Please back my fundraiser so that together we can build a better India for all of us.
