Help to educate bright rural girl children

Dear Donor/ supporter !

CHHASE & our staff & our beneficiaries, hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

Impact of lockdown on underprivileged children

The children in rural areas, children of migrants and street children, An increasing number of poor and street children now have no source of income, making them a high risk population to face abuse and mental health issues with greater vulnerability and exposure to unfavourable economic, social and environmental circumstances. 

During the time of lockdown an increasing number of poor families have no source of daily wages which lead to frustration and feelings of helplessness. By the reason of displacement, the frustration and family conflict may manifest itself in the form of violence towards children. This can make the child more vulnerable to depression, anxiety and suicide School closure coupled with economic adversity may force children and adolescents into child labour. Likewise, children without parents or guardians are more prone to exploitation.

In order to cover up the loss of education during lockdown, many schools have offered distance learning or online courses to students. However, this opportunity is not available to underprivileged children as a result of which they face a lack of stimulation and have no access to online resource material to study.  Due to this gender inequality, increasing number of girls is prone to bear the consequences of school dropouts once the lockdown is lifted.

How you supported Roja

13 year old, Roja, child ofShanthi, a tribal parent, studied in 8^th grade. Due to lockdowns, her studies were disturbed and schools were closed. Online classes were started in schools and as a tribal family girl, her parents were unable to provide cell phone to attend online classes. Due to this, she felt that her future is in danger and she started isolating herself from others and during nights she was unable to sleep even. With your, we have provided a cell phone to her and now she become fit and sleeping well during nights.

With the help of globalgiving, we decided to work with such children to provide cell phones, life skills trainings, plays for children to engage them in good feeling and promoting mental health.
