Value-based Development Education to Underprivileged Children

Children are the future pillars of our country. We know that educating the children is an important paramount activity for building a healthy nation. In slums and low-income group areas, due to illiteracy of parents, the poor economic condition of the family, lack of moral values, lack of guidance, lack of facilities, lack of parental care, peer pressure, etc., children are not growing into healthy confident human beings. Due to the poor economic condition of their parents, and the lack of awareness about the importance of education among the parents, many children drop out of school. This makes them susceptible to social evils of child labour and beggary.

Evening Support Education and Training Classes: There will be five centres catering to 250 children (In these support education classes, the students will be motivated to learn by imparting them with learning skills, values cum- motivational stories, and they will be provided with the necessary help with their school syllabi )

Specific elements of the project that funds would support:

 IUCT’s Evening classes: The evening classes will cater to the students who are underprivileged as educational support. The timing of the evening classes will be 5 to 8 p.m.

 Supplementary nutritious food:

During these special classes, we will provide the students with supplementary nutritious food. It will be big support for these students, especially, the adolescent girl students as they are suffering from chronic anaemic conditions.

 Educational Material Support: Our beneficiaries are economically and socially backwards and first generation school going children. Iniya Udaiyam has been providing educational materials to children.

 Health: Every quarter arranges health camps to improve the physical health of these children.
