Education for 300 Indigenous Children in India

The activities went very well in this quarter and we are happy that 290 children passed their examinations. In May 2018 10th standard results got declared by the government, We glad to share that all our 17 10th standard students from our 4 centers secured 100% Result in their Exams. 3 out of 17 students secured 95% in all subjects and remaining 14 students secured 85% in all subjects. In summer vacation ARV team conducted awareness Campaign on education in and around the Narayanapuram Village, the main theme of the campaign is each and every drop out child should join in the school, by the result 16 new students from Narayanapuram joined in Municipal Elementary school.

ARV team convinced and motivated parents to send their daughters to the High School. Because they are not willing to send girls to school as the school is far from the village and expressed insecurity towards girls. Finally we succeeded to join them in High school as ARV agreed accompany one staff to take care of them for time being till they feel comfort to go school on their own. In their tradition  early girl child marriages are in practice . There are girls in the village married at the age of 13.  ARV motivated that the  early marriages are not good and it is against law and also crime. Though it is against the law , still early marriage are  practicing in most of the tribal villages.

On 26th June,  ARV distributed School Supplies like Bags, Books and Stationary to 70 poor students at Narayanapuram tribal Colony. Paid 28 students fee when they were unable to pay fee and absent in the school. ARV team met the school management and paid fee and given assurance that ARV pay continuously for their studies.

There is need for many children to take care of their education and even health as they are suffering very often from fever and diarrhea as they are living in unhygienic conditions and taking contaminated water. All the 300 children are going to school and we are not in a position to provide school supplies for all the children. We are expecting recurring donations to support children on regular basis and we are grateful to the existing donors for their kind support. Though donation is small , recurring will help children to study continuously.

 In case we did not get support from Globalgiving in last quarter the organization –ARV would not have shown great result and able to continue the education for all the children. A big thanks to Globalgiving team for their timely support.
