Sponsor nutrition and pre school expenses of a poor child

Impact

Paruli's parents work in Kashinapur brickfield. They would go to work early in the morning and would return home for a little while in the afternoon. Though Paruli generally used to sleep when her parents were at work, she would just cry the whole day once she was up. This made her irritated and she would refuse to even play with the other children. Her parents couldn't even take her along because of the unhealthy environment of the brick kilns.This made things extremely difficult for Paruli's parents since they could not leave their daughter at home nor could they take her. One day, Towards Future team member met Paruli during her field visit. She met her parents and learnt about their situation and that they have another six-month-old to take care of. At that time, they were also expecting another child. She suggested the couple to drop Paruli to the NGO's free day care center while they are at work. Paruli started attending the centre and there she started getting elementary education as well. She is also fed a nutritious meal and given medical support for any kind of health issue. Now, Paruli is a happy child. She has learnt the alphabets both in Bengali & English and can also identify numbers. She is a lovable kid who loves to recite poems both in Bengali and English.

About The Program

Shishumon - BTF Learning Center is a pre-school run by Towards Future and it caters to nearly 100 children (3 to 7 years). Their aim is to promote education and create social and emotional development of the children from their early childhood.As all the beneficiaries of the center are first generation school goers, this pre-school helps them to get attached with the school education system. The center nurtures child's curiosity through activity based learning and boosts pre-math and literacy skills helpful for their upcoming formal education years. They try to develop their language & cognitive skills in a structured but joyful environment. They also organize different events like Environment Day, Childrens Day, Annual sports & picnic to get them exposed with the social issues and external world. Volunteers are also encouraged from nearby IT companies and other pre-primary schools to interact with the children to provide them a variety of exposure.After completion of four successful years in the learning center, they are sent to formal primary schools. Towards Future works with schools in the area and helps them to monitor the progress of these children. They also conduct regular parent-teacher meetings to encourage them to participate in their child's progress. Towards Future also provides nutritious food to these children everyday besides providing them with basic school supplies like books and uniform.

About The NGO

A few like minded people willing to contribute their time, resources and emotion to the weaker section of the society, have managed to form an organization named Towards Future. Supriya Roy Chowdhury, the Founder and current head of the organisation, with some like minded friends decided to do something good for the society and formed Towards Future in 2008. Before Towards Future's registration Supriya worked in different NGOs for 13 years and has noticed that poor children are not receiving quality education. So the team of Towards Future decided to begin with child education which started with eight children at Kalyani center. Later on corporate houses like Wipro Cares, Acclaris Business Solutions Pvt Ltd and some generous donors came forward to assist Towards Future which makes the job of the team smooth and easy. During her working period with other organizations, Supriya gathered experience in the field of child education, so she felt like contributing to this sector. Supriya also worked in the field of women rights issues, so later on Supriya introduced a project on women rights in Towards Future.
