In this program we work with women who live in slum area and
comes from Below Poverty line families outskirts of Jaipur, in the desert state
of Rajasthan. With the overall aim to educate and provide training for women
who live in slums, and those who come from BPL (Below Poverty Line) families. Every day girls and women come to our center and
here we teach them formal and informal education provide them vocational
training etc..
In terms of education
here we teach them basic English reading and writing language classes(Spanish,
French, etc) Mathematics, Hindi and
Computer are offered. English has become
a global communication language, building a bridge between many areas of the
world. It is so important for these women to see themselves and others as being
able to take part in such global conversation.
We provide training in many of the areas that these women
will likely find work. We organize stitching, drawing henna and cooking classes
for these girls and women so with the help of these skills even start their own
business so in near future they are not depend on their husband or Men.
We are also provide time timely a counselling service and established
a friendly atmosphere for women and girls so they feel a safe place to share
their issues and talk freely about anything.
In our women empowerment program we also offer you the
chance to teach young girls & boys at the age from 3 to 15 years old. In This
program you get a wonderful opportunity for participants to work with both
women & children in one program. We works to break the cycle of poverty
that diminishes these girls and children’s life chances. Without a good education,
their economic prospects will be limited as those of their parents, sentencing
them and their future children to a similar life of hardship. So we mix the
program is that most of the children that come to our center are the children
of the women who also come here and it is better for the young ones to be with
them. Children who live in slum areas are not able to go to school because of
their families are very poor and also there is no awareness in regard to
education for children.
At
the project volunteers will help us in various ways such as they can teach
the women and girls English, maths and computing, in a friendly and supportive
atmosphere, and also assisting in their moral development how they can
behave they also do women health and hygiene lessons art and
craft, and using their skills to develop new ideas so in near future with the
help of this girls and women can get some work or even they start their own
small business etc. They can prepare some educational games and sports
activity too for these girls overall development.
