Impact Suman was a 7-year-old child without any dreams. Simple joys like going to school and making friends were alien to her. Her father had a damaged kidney and her mother was a daily wage worker. Their extreme poverty neither allowed them to send her to school and nor were they able to fulfill her small needs. About The Program Seva Mandir's 'Every Girl In School' program provides education to underprivileged girl children. About The NGO Seva Mandir is one of India's leading development nonprofit organizations. It currently works with 360,000 people across 700 villages of southern Rajasthan, where over 90% of the population relies on subsistence agriculture and most people live on less than Rs. 20 ($0.35) a day. For over 45 years, Seva Mandir has worked in partnership with these people, not only to improve their material well-being but to build stronger and more ethical communities. Through its programs on governance, health, education, sustainable use of natural resources, women's empowerment, youth development, child care and social enterprise, Seva Mandir makes a tangible and transformative impact. Every year, 12,000 disadvantaged children receive a quality education in its schools; 8,000 women and children out of reach of hospitals are offered critical health services; thousands of more families achieve food security and sustainable livelihoods through the rehabilitation of hundreds of acres of land; and 9,000 women move closer to gender equality and financial independence through women's groups and lending cooperatives. Their mission is to make real the idea of a society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together to solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts.

Mission Every Girl in School

Impact There is one Government middle school in Jamun, Rajasthan but due to the quality of teachers' attendance as well as the distance from home many of the children were discouraged from going to school. The children were instead sent for cattle grazing. Seva Mandir took up the task of setting up a rural school as an alternative. The village youth counseled parents and enrolled children into the school. Today, all the children at the Jamun center can read and write. After graduating from the rural school the children go to the Government schools for higher studies, sometimes outperforming the students there. The parents also understand the importance of education because of the rural schools. You can help these tribal children get quality education Shiksha Kendras. About The Program Seva Mandir's education strategy focuses on ensuring education for the school dropouts between the ages of 6-14 years in tribal areas and enables communities to demand quality education from the Government. Seva Mandir runs Shiksha Kendras in places where the quality of education is either dismal or available at all. Shiksha Kendras are single classroom, single teacher schools providing education up to 3rd grade. Surveys are conducted to assesses the quality of existing education system, if any and availability of eligible children through continuous interactions with the villagers. After an assessment, a Shiksha Kendra is opened in the said village and a local teacher is employed. The required material is distributed to the children and the school. The entire village is involved in monitoring the school. Seva Mandir runs 205 schools serving 6000 children every year. When you support this program, you enable tribal children to dream of a better future. About The NGO Seva Mandir is one of India's leading development nonprofit organizations.

Children

Atul Lekhra

In the remote rural and tribal areas of Udaipur and Rajsamand, districts, southern Rajasthan, access to education is a huge problem. Government run schools are unable to service the rural population efficiently due to the remoteness of most communities, with many centers understaffed and under resourced, or located many miles away from small villages and hamlets. This issue has led to many children being kept away from school and work to support their family’s incomes. One result of this is that many children remain illiterate or having a very low understanding of language and math’s, catalyzing the devastating cycle of poverty. 
 In response to this situation, Seva Mandir runs its Shiksha Kendra program. Shiksha Kendras are ‘bridge-schools’ that offer education at a primary level to children aged between 6 and 14 years old, who have never attended school or have dropped out entirely. The Shiksha Kendras offer an engaging, active and quality syllabus created by Seva Mandir, with the primary aim being to ensure that the children can read, write and articulate in Hindi alongside understanding fundamental mathematical concepts. Recently, English language classes have started to be introduced into these schools. Shiksha Kendras are set up in remote communities once a need has been identified. 
 This project supporting Shiksha Kendras will result in the following outcomes:-<ol><li>Providing quality education to rural and tribal children aged between 6 to 14 years old.</li><li>30% of children will acquire the ability to reach a Level 3 ability.</li><li>25% of age appropriate and eligible children will enrol in a higher education institution to continue their education.</li><li>Increase in the teaching and learning level and quality of English language.</li><li>Increase in the retention of children who have graduated from Shiksha Kendras in government or private education.</li></ol>

Provide quality education for about 30 rural tribal children for 1 month in Siksha Kendras of Seva Mandir

Seva Mandir works with more than 500,000 people in 1,300 rural villages in two districts (Udaipur and Rajsamand) of southern Rajasthan. The total area of these two districts is over 16,000 km2, with villages spread over large areas and made up of a series of small hamlets, typically inhabited by different caste and tribal groups. The area is hilly and semi-arid, with poor infrastructure. 84% of the population are subsistence farmers who struggle to make a living from their small landholdings. Increasing numbers of men migrate to distant towns to work as labourers in mining, construction or agriculture, leaving women to run the smallholdings, look after the animals, labour in the villages and look after children, many of whom have to work in the home or the fields.The area suffers from a lack of clean drinking water and toilets (open defecation is still commonly practised) and poorly functioning health and education facilities. Malnutrition is rife, particularly among young children. In this patriarchal society, women continue to face domestic violence and illiteracy and they lack socio-political and financial independence.Around 70% of the population is tribal. Tribal people, who traditionally inhabited the forest areas of India, have their own social and governance customs. They score lowest on all measures of development, lack opportunities to improve their development and frequently face discrimination.Seva Mandir has built up teams of experts (from the region and elsewhere) in a number of disciplines who use their skills in the service of the people of our area.Seva Mandir believes in not just delivering aid, but in long-term and sustainable social transformation. Since our inception over 50 years ago, the fundamental principle underpinning all of our activities has been that rural development work in the villages, however much it is needed, is not an end in itself. Rather, it is inextricably linked to the aim of transforming social relationships within the villages, strengthening communities' capacity for self-development and governance and reducing traditional social barriers based on caste, class, gender and age. Seva Mandir has sought to achieve its twin aims of improving lives and strengthening communities by engaging all members of a village in the process of self-governance, including decisions relating to, and the management of, development projects. The results and sustainability of all our integrated development work depend on this foundation.
