Education

The Native people who are residing over generations in Kancheepuram,Chengalpet &amp; Tiruvallur (chennai suburb districts) are from economically weaker backgrounds whose daily wages depend on unorganized work as these poor people couldn’t afford to study years back. Now, these low income earning people believe that providing quality education to their children will help them to overcome the suffering/struggles they are facing and education leads to better life &amp; future for their children.This led the parents’ heart to send their children to private schools even though it is hard for them to pay the fees, till primary classes they could afford to pay the fees but when their children go to secondary classes the fees amount increases and the parents find it difficult to pay the fees. On the other hand students who are from very poor families join in government school and these students can’t afford to buy basic school needs like Uniforms, bags, supportive materials like guide books, note books etc.,With all struggles when a student completes his/her studies till higher secondary, they find it difficult to join colleges due to families’ economic conditions. So, after school education instead of going to colleges, they work at supermarkets,textile shops etc., 
 WEEDS discovered this as a common issue happening among the native people of Kancheepuram,Chengalpet &amp; Tiruvallur (chennai suburb districts). Because of this issue, currently there is an increase in school and college dropouts than before since from COVID-19 pandemic/economic recession. This situation is leading the low income families’ students to go to the jobs than continuing higher education.So, to reduce dropouts and making students from low income families of Kancheepuram,Chengalpet &amp; Tiruvallur (chennai suburb districts) to pursue education, WEEDS is taking up this issue as challenge to support and motivate the parents by paying their children school/ college partial fees. And, through this education scholarship Aid the students can be able to more focus on their education rather than in stress about their fees dues. And parents can be encouraged and would believe the better life for their children, moreover our education scholarship support will boost the low income families’ parents to educate their children.Starting from this academic year, all these deserving students from low income families will receive the support until they finish their higher education. It is going to be a continuous process and every year they will receive the support from kind donors like you. 
 This support will help students to continue their education without interruption. We are not going to pay the full academic year fees but encouraging a low income family to move forward to overcome financial struggles by giving our hand/contribution for their children education. Our education aid will motivate both the parents and students.The support will help students of economically weaker families living in Kancheepuram,Chengalpet &amp; Tiruvallur (chennai suburb districts), Tamilnadu State, India.We believe that the most important effects of Education has on society is giving the people who live in a society the skills they needed to compete in their life and create a healthy future generation.Beneficaries,# Students from women headed families#Disabled students#Single Parent children#Students who lost parents and living under Guardian support#Students from Low earning families# ST community students

EDUCATE STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME FAMILIES

Under Article 21 (A) of the Constitution of India states that Every child between the ages of 6 to 14 years has the right to free and compulsory education. By the constitution all the children got access to education but with an imbalance. Thus, accessibility without equality is a greater discrimination form of untouchability. There is an imbalance between rural and urban students in getting access to quality education regarding teaching, computer skills, English knowledge and communication skills. We are devoted to abolish this wider hidden imbalance in Education. With this in mind we would like to concentrate on improving the computer knowledge of government school students together with the support of you (kind donors).In the current world all the people are adopting Computers which help the students to learn about the world and know what is happening in it. It helps them to aim for excellent jobs in the future and succeed in it. The computer has become a standard of education throughout the world. This makes computer education important.

Livelihood

Women are still the most deprived and neglected segments of society despite the constitutional guarantee for equal rights and privileges, and continue to be victims of economic, social cultural and political marginalisation.Women undertake most of the work and their working hours are longer than those of men, They do domestic work like child care and housework, and they are considered a burden and are oppressed and violated in multiple ways. Their development is further retarded by intervening factors like gender discrimination, low level of education and work participation, poor nutritional status, violence against women and poor health .Women are deprived of sex education and have poor health due to frequent pregnancies. They lack information on balanced diet, family planning, house cleaning and other necessary information to improve their health and quality of life. They have low-paid jobs and lower financial independence, all of which translates into a lack of self-confidence.Poor women’s access to credit in rural areas is also very weak and is affected by a number of problems like insistence of collateral security, cultural distance between rural women and banks, cumbersome procedures, denial of credit to women due to default by male members of the family.

When the pandemic hit, many workplace closed and many low income parents whose jobs situation were already unstable, lost their jobs or had reduced hours and pay. Those experience impacted the family ecosystem including children education. The balancing act that parents are having to do is challenging enough for financially stable families, but low-income families may have to choose between making rent, buying groceries or Paying fees for their education. This situation led many children to discontinue the education.Now the situation is slowly changing schools &amp; colleges are reopening so the students are force to pay the fees. 
 Through this program we will support the students to pay their fees, school kits (Bag, notebooks ,uniform) to continue their education without any distress. The students from Private school, Government school &amp; College students will be benefitted through this Programme. By this support we can reduce the burden of low income families. 
 We believe that the most important effects of Education has on society is giving the people who live in a society the skills they needed to compete in their life and create a healthy future generation.

EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT TO STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME FAMILIES

Many native women in Kundrathur Municipality are working as maid servants in houses and several women are living inside their families as maid servant which led to unnoticed domestic violence and verbal teasing . Women from low income families are struggling to run their family due to financial situation, this affect children studies too. So to eradicate Poverty, discrimination and slavery of women, we find the solution called "Economic In-dependency of women". Through our Tailoring skill training programme we can definitely empower women financially and develop their skill to support them and family to live a better life peacefully. 
 WEEDS started a tailoring training unit in kundrathur Municipality recently so that women could learn, then earns by themselves which will make them to live boldly and can support their families too. Women can live a decent life once they start to earn money independently. We believe the financial in-dependency of women will leads to women development. For 1st Batch 20 women will be trained for 4 months. So, in a year 60 women will learn Tailoring skill. 
 Through our Tailoring training, women will be placed/find jobs in Garment companies with decent pay. Interested women can have the chances to become entrepreneur, so after training if they own a Industrial sewing machine they can earn more money by stitching from their home or they can set up a small tailoring shop.

Women Livelihood Support -  Tailoring Skill Training

Private school children: Most of the poor parents want their children to study well and they believe private schools alone could make their children to improve in studies and can set up a good life. And parents could pay the first installment of the school fees by borrowing money, from their very small savings or from various sources but they couldn’t pay the second installment. On the other side parents were struggling to buy school kits, uniforms, shoes and stationery. Hence, dropouts become usual nowadays.Government school children: Major need of the Government school Children is uniforms and school kits. They need at least 2 sets of uniforms and school kits when it becomes old. 
 In our operational areas, we provide educational assistance to children belonging to poor working women and SHG members. We, in the past, helped them build their future of financial freedom through joint efforts for starting their small-scale commerce / vending by raising scholarship funds for the children’s continuing education. To expand our outreach, we plan to provide educational scholarships to the needy children. 
 The impact would be poor children can continue their school studies. Families can also get rid of private lenders who lure huge sums of money as interest from them.The children beneficiaries would no more be choosing child labor as their career instead of education and development. 50 poor children could benefit through this contribution. Let's Join in this cause.
