Target Group : Slum Children
Total Beneficiaries : 25 (Age: 3 to 15)
Place : Ward No. 7 under Khardah Municipality
The project is designed for the underprivileged children of slum areas in the age group of 3 year to15 years. It was set up in April, 2006 to meet the needs of one of the most vulnerable and deprived groups of people, who are living in the slum areas and have no predictable pattern and no voice in society.
In the urban slum areas mostly the men are engaged in day labour and in most of the cases women are fruit, flower and vegetable sellers. Some either work as maidservant. . The meager income is not enough for them to survive. They live in tents, huts, basements or share part of a room with other families. Normally the children of the slum areas are first generation learners. As their parents are not properly educated, they are not able to help their children , and they have no proper environment in their home for education.
To give support to these kids we establish SHIKSHAN where they get the all facilities of education by a group of experts. Here they get the proper environment of education. We teach Basic Mathematics, Languages (English, Bengali and Basic Hindi), Social Science, General Knowledge and beside these drawing and crafts training are also provided for them. We also teach some kind of Physical Exercises for their body fitness. We also provide free medical support to the kids as per their need. To increase their speaking power in foreign language like English, we take special classes to develop their skills in English reading and conversation.
We have already started one non-formal educational center under SIKSHAN project at Khardah slum area. There we have 30 slum children from the age of 3 to 15. These children are divided into three groups – older, intermediate and younger as per their learning ability. We have a plan to establish similar centers at the different slum areas in and around Kolkata for the betterment of the needy slum kids. |
