GVT has seen some of the difficult situation after giving the bicycle. Some of the girl do not use it after some time and drop out from school again, the bicycle use by someone else from the family and other such challenges GVT has faced after providing bicycles. Looking this issue in mind GVT is trying to engage more people, the more powerful community people who can make such impact on the children as well as to the parents.
GVT has given 13 bicycle to the girls studying in standard 5 to 7. During the bicycle distribution program GVT has called the sarpanch (PRI Head) of the village, and in the presence of few other stakeholders from the community, so that they also can take care of the girl children regular attendance in school, and with the help of community mobiliser stay in contact with the parents and the girl children once in a month, so that they also can remain in touch with GVT.
GVT is trying to make some positive change in the mindset of the parents, so that they can contribute their efforts in educating girl children. A small step may change the future of girls in rural Bharuch. Your support is still required to make such changes.
