Bal Sansar Sanstha (BSS) plans to provide quality primary education to 200 girls from the rural poor families, most parents are daily wage laborers as well as building school infrastructure (i.e. 6 classrooms, library, 1 computer Lab, 4 toilets for the girls) to provide standard school amenities to these girls in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, allowing them to postpone their age of marriage, not to get pushed into child-labor, rise out of poverty, providing their families' health & well-being.
Big rural urban & gender divide deprives girls; access, retention & quality of education are key concerns. Female literacy rate in Rajasthan 24.44% (1991) 43.9% (2001) 52.66% (2011) far below to national rates & the goal of Education for All. Girls not attending schools regularly, low value given to the girl child, child marriage & child labor prevails. Drop-out rates are high at secondary level, at elementary level 7.06 and at secondary level 31.48 (2010-11).Also, there are resource constraints
Bal Sansar Public Sschool will ensure community & parent contact/counseling ensuring families give due importance to education of girls; quality of teaching & learning; teacher sensitization; creating girls' friendly school; safe transportation; life-skill program, inclusion of health & hygiene issues; all these will enhance confidence level of girls (their parents as well), ensuring that they stay in school, not pushed in to child marriage/labor & continue their education, leading quality life
The project will educate 200 rural poor girls allowing them to postpone their age of marriage, not to get pushed into child labor, rise out of poverty, which will provide for themselves as well as their families' health and well-being. These early investments in the lives of young girls will go a long way impacting the overall quality of their lives while influencing their & family's mind-sets, dreams, aspirations & future potentials.
