Educate 100 orphan girls in rural India

The Corona Pandemic affected the schooling of our children whom we support due to complete lock down. As most of them are under the care of grand-parents and extended families in the communities ,it has been a challenge to encourage them to study from home. Few girls who are located near the centre were able to access the online classes at our centre computers and also guided through our volunteers. But some living in remote areas, lack of transport made it more difficult for them to even avail the service at the centre.

Now with the treatment and the vaccines, the state government has announced the re-opening of schools from classes 9^th to 12^th. The public exams have been scheduled to be organized in the month of May. The field team of Buds of Christ has been following up the children and encouraging them to get back to school learning. The children and the care takers had been taught of all the precautionary measures of keeping oneself safe from Corona by wearing mask, using sanitizer or soap and maintaining social distance. Regular phone follow-up and masks are also provided to children.

Buds of Christ have also planned to provide uniform support currently for children in classes 9^th and 11^th standard. The school kits will be provided to all the children who will be attending school to encourage them and also ease the burden on the care takers.

We thank GlobalGiving friends and partners who have been helping us shape a better future for the young girls in rural areas of our target district and we look forward to your continuous support.
