Dear donors,
Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch.
As you all are aware about the project Give a girl a future, is more focusing on the awareness part of the community mostly on education. The parents are somehow not giving priority to education, girls education is not seen as compulsory, regular school attendance is not important for girls, school level materials are not important to buy and so many other mindset has deeply rooted in parents thinking.

Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) is trying to break the mindset of the parents, thorough different strategies. Though the parents are not easy to change their mindset as education is not giving any benefits to them till date, as they have not completed any higher studies, and mostly the girls are not getting educated. Also the boys are studying up to 10 or 12 standard. So they also not getting any good opportunities after they completed their studies. But GVT is trying to make the other positive sides of the study though they complete their 12 effectively. The role of parents is very effective in children’s education, the parents can create a positive atmosphere at home for study, and it is not only that the children can learn at their own but it is the responsibilities of the parents to motivate the children in their small age to make the children involve in their study than only the children will able to make their future, especially the girls.
GVT has seen many girls are not getting educated because of some simple reason, and it is really important to make the parents aware about it, and for all these challenges GVT are engaging parents through Faliya (Street) Meeting, in which all the parents whose children are studying are invited and different education related topics are shared with them. Till now GVT has organized three meeting and the topics are Importance of education, how children learn? And role of parents in children’s education.
Making the parents aware about education is difficult, and it will take time to change their mindset but GVT believe that the change will happen. Your suggestion and support is required.
