Impact Mamta lives in Aamwal Dhani village. Her father, Gopal, is a laborer and does not earn enough to educate his children. In the family of 6, Mamta was considered to be a burden. Due to limited income and poverty, Mamta's education was discontinued. Gram Chetna Kendra intervened and decided to care for her. She was provided with facilities like uniforms, shoes, stationery, books, and a solar lantern. She was also trained in safe hygiene habits. Mamta is now regular to class and is a keen student. She is also very neat and clean. Watching her growth and progress, her parents realize the importance of education. With a little help from you, a girl like Mamta can receive an education that will change her life. About The Program Gram Chetna Kendra (GCK) runs various programs in Rajasthan's rural belt. This belt is undeveloped with very low literacy rates and even more so for girls. Girls regularly tend to drop out of schools due to gender discrimination, economic condition of their families and lack of awareness. GCK provides assistance in the form of school supplies to poor female students to reduce the number of dropouts. The beneficiaries are chosen based on recommendations by village-level organizations. Gram Chetna Kendra then finalizes them through a physical verification visit to their homes. The organization proposes to help close to 100 girls from impoverished backgrounds in a year. Donate to this program and you can save a girl from the clutches of illiteracy and lifelong dependence. About The NGO Gram Chetna Kendra was formed by a group of socially conscious individuals of Khedi Milak district of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Piercing issues like droughts of educational, healthcare and government services plaguing the society ignited the hearts of the founders to channel their efforts towards people based development to ensure just and equal opportunities with minimum basic essentials for all and quality life for rural masses. Working relentlessly for more than 30 years, their clouds of projects filled with streams of development have showered their services on 791 villages covering 11 districts of Rajasthan. Recognizing the various efforts of the trust towards bringing about literacy and social justice, the government of Rajasthan has honored them for outstanding contribution to the community. Their determination for capacity building in the society involving promotions for breastfeeding garnered respect internationally when World Alliance for Breast Feeding Action (WABA), Malaysia, awarded them an Appreciation Certificate. Armed with numerous such recognition and achievements, the members of the trust have engraved their goals of rural population advancement through socioeconomic self-reliance for the deprived and poverty-stricken.

Adding to this one of the major problem in the area is low literacy rate especially among women. Parents has biased attitude towards girls education as an outcome of gender biasness predominant in the area. Schools are grappling with problems of quality and the improper functioning in the schooling system.Girls do not have much say in decision making choices and in general girls drop out of schools. Since they live in remote areas and parents are daily wage earners or temporary migrants, girls are forced to discontinue schooling to stay behind to perform household chores or look after their siblings while parents are away for livelihood. As per baseline data 2019, 5.2% girls drop out of school between 4th to 8th standard in the villages of Sambhar Block, Jaipur.

The BPL population is about 12870 (52%). in the area does not have any industry or factory. The families are dependent on agriculture, animal husbandry and daily labor. Most of the agriculture is rain fed, irrigation facilities are very limited. The region comes under semi desert and part of drought prone area. Due to continuous scarcity of rainfall during last couple of years the main source of water (i.e. wells, ponds and tanks) has dried up. Thus, production of crops has been reduced and acute shortage of drinking water emerged. There is huge migration of entire families during the lean period. The district headquarter is about 60 kms far from target villages.most of girls have not basic school supplies and toiletries so they are school drop out.

All the villages surrounding to Sambhar Salt Lake which influences the flora &amp; fauna of the area. The Salt Lake is famous in the country basically for the salt production. The region comes under semi arid zone and drought prone area. Due to continuous scarcity in rainfall during last couple of year’s wells, ponds and tanks have been dried up. Thus, production of crops has been reduced and acute shortage of drinking water also emerged. The population in the area consists of marginal farmers, agricultural laborers, daily wage loborers and people engaged in animal husbandry. Most of the population live under below poverty line while the scheduled caste and nomadic indigenous people dominate the percentage of population in the area. Employment opportunities for youth (both male &amp; female) in the proposed area is miserable. For getting daily wages, youth are traveling to Jaipur (the only place to get a wage) every day and spending a major part of their income in travel. But for female youth, there are no options left for getting livelihood opportunities.  
 It is found during one study in our project areas that most of the youths and males are travelling to Jaipur city to work in electrician shops and building construction wiring work. Many of the youths are involved in to this kind of work without having any skill and sometimes they are being facing different kinds of hazardous and accidents are also occurring. So it was GCK’s effort to search those who are working in to this kind of sectors and train them in basic electrician and domestic wiring work so that they can at least work at their local level by opening their own shops and can repair small things like fans, cooler and domestic wiring etc. If the person will be trained in this course then safety can be practiced while working in this sector and their live will not be in danger. The person will work properly and efficiency in work will achieve. So GCK aims to train those unskilled youths to become self reliant and income can be generated at the local level.  
      youth are trained in trades in accordance to market demand. trained youth in appropriate trades will generate alternate options for livelihood in the area. It will reduce the vulnerability of migration of youth and families to other parts of the country.  It will increase women’s participation in income generation activities; which will strengthen family economy.     Youth are employed and started earning resulting in livelihood security of families.

Due to scanty rainfall during the monsoons, the area comes under the drought prone region of the Rajasthan State. The groundwater levels in this region have gone lower and with scanty rainfall bore wells used for drinking water are at a depth of 325ft.The fluoride content in the water found in this area is very high due to which most people do not have access to safe drinking water. Any economically poor family is unable to expense a huge amount for a bore well. As such, they need to depend on storage of rain water or purchase water or travel 2 to 3.5 kms to carry a bucket of water every day.Family members (especially women) are going for a long distance for fetching water from a distance place, which is time consuming by neglecting other household work. In rainy seasons, they could not store water for use at the time of basic requirement. This water tanks are very much essential for them to save water in rainy season. Whole family engages in this kind of venture and children have School dropout and drop out are a common phenomenon.  
 The construction takes approximately 15 days:• The beneficiaries procure all the material required for construction and hire the labour for construction and plumbing. • They then produce the bills, which is then reimbursed by the organization. • The beneficiaries manage labour for covering the tank (roof of the tank). • The organization creates awareness that after the construction of the water tank, beneficiaries will be able to store roof water during rainy season and drinking water from tankers at minimum rates and also store large volume of water supplied by Government during the summer or when there is a need. The construction benefits 5-6 families in the neighbourhood. • The land usually belongs to one family, but they will be required to share the water with their neighbours.• The construction is made so that neighbouring families are free to use the water when the need arises. • These families will collectively contribute to the refilling and maintenance of the water tank. Hence this construction serves close to 45 members in one neighbourhood. • The tank is a standard size with a depth of 10 feet and a diameter of 4.75 feet.  
 Main goal of the program is to provide a Rainwater harvesting (Tanka) to a poor family to store safe drinking water. After the construction of Tanka, families can store roof water during rainy season or they can store drinking water in other days by filling through tankers at minimum rates or they can also store large volume of water supplied by Govt. in summer. As a result, they can save a large part of their time. The construction is beneficial to 5-6 nearby families. The construction is so made that nearby families are free to use it as per their need. These families will collectively contribute in refilling and maintenance of the water tank.Village Committee is formed and it plays a key role in the construction of the tanka (Rainwater harvesting). The tankas constructed in the villages are recommended by village committee. In rainy seasons these tankas are used for storage of rain water (harvesting) in turn used for cooking food and drinking water. In other days the village committee gives guidance like monitoring and selection process to the villagers.

The COVID-19 crises pushed 300 adolescent girls and their families from marginalised communities living near Sambhar Salt Lake into malnutrition and poor hygiene. In INR 1,000 Gram Chetna Kendra shall provide these vulnerable groups with menstrual hygiene kits and supplies for kitchen garden to bring them out of their miseries.Near Sambhar Salt Lake, one of the core areas of our work, girls from deprived families do not have access to basic necessities like nutrition, healthcare and hygiene. The situations have worsened during the COVID-19 crisis and has severely impacted poor and differently abled girls in the area.In the most marginalised families, young girls can be seen seen developing anemia and other health related problems owing to lack of proper nourishment and poor means to ensure menstrual hygiene. Malnutrition can be attributed to the economic conditions of these families because of which most families are not capable of consuming proper nutrients and vegetables on a daily basis. Poor menstrual hygiene is also reinforced by social taboos around menstrual health that forces girls to use cloth and other unhygienic methods for menstruation management, not having means to purchase necessary supplies. 
 To ensure proper menstrual care and hygiene for vulnerable girls in our project location we wish to distribute kits containing two packets of sanitary pads and additionally two towels, comb, nail cutter, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, oil. We believe that through this effort we should be able to provide an incentive to girls and families and encourage the use of sanitary pads instead of cloth which can prove to be unhygienic and uncomfortable for the girls. During with our distribution drive, we shall also make these families aware about the benefits of the use of sanitary pads over cloth and promote overall menstrual hygiene. We shall also guide them around proper disposal of the used pads.To also help improve the nutritional status of these girls and their families we look forward to providing seeds of spinach, chillies, bottle gourd, cucumber and lady finger to these families to be grown in their kitchen garden and consumed. Since these vegetables are high in iron content and other essential vitamins we are sure that these will be beneficial to improve the health and immunity of these vulnerable families. 
 We strongly believe that through our interventions we shall be able to counter problems around ensuring proper menstrual hygiene and health for the adolescent girls and provide them with incentives for better hygiene management on a long term basis.By encouraging families to grow vegetables in their kitchen gardens we shall reduce the cost of buying vegetables for these households and still ensure that nutrition status of these girls and their families are improved, leading to better health, reduce incidences of anemia and preventing malnutrition.
