RASTA, a not-for-profit organization, which has been engaged in educating the poor, especially girls, since 1994, has so far educated about 23000 children. It has won several awards for its achievements. Rasta needs financial support to continue its good work.
There are no Government schools for girls in the project location. The School which Rasta started in the area to address this, needs financial support. Rasta has been educating 900 girls, who were out of school and first generation learners. Out of these 900, 300 were supported by one of its partners, which has phased out, after supporting for 9 years, as per their policy. Hence continued education of these 300 girls is at stake.
By meeting the recurring cost on account of the facilities, salaries of teachers and of other staff. By promoting girls' education and enabling them to prosper in life, the attitude of the parents and community towards education of girls will change for the better.
* 300 girls will continue their education and complete at least X Standard; * Several of them, if not all, will strive towards getting better jobs than what they would get otherwise; * Several will pursue their studies; * All these will make the parents' and community's attitude toward girls' education more positive and pave the way for all round development in the area; * These developments will have positive impact on at least 50% of Khora's population estimated at 2 million. .
