Spread your wings!

By Jignesh Christi | Project Leader

Gram Vikas Trust’s prime focus is to educate girls, strengthen the society with educating the marginalized group. Education is the only door to step in to the competitive world. And to get education for the marginalized people of Jhagadia block sometimes not that much easy. The tribal people of this block faces many challenges.

Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) is reaching to the unreached girls to provide a hand to bright their future, who sometimes are less focus of the society. GVT has a strong rapport with the government primary schools, which we use to identify the needy girls who needs support in getting education.

Education is important, but there are many loopholes in the system, the village people have some misconceptions, not giving importance to education and other challenges are there to face while working with the community and government system. Though we are working to change the mindset of the parents, motivate the teachers to educate the children, supporting the students to come to school every day and other aspects so that the parents and specially the girl can understand the importance of education.

In many cases we have seen if the girl gets drop out after the 8^th class, their parents marry them. We are engaging the parents and community members to make them realize the importance of education, with Mohalla meeting, going door to door visits to understand the root cause of the parents and child why she has left the school, or why she is irregular in the school.

Only provide material help will not make them to understand the importance of education, we are trying to make them realize with their active participation in school related activities. If a girl will get good education she will be able to make change in two families.

Help us to support in girls education, to make their life brighter and help us by giving your valuable inputs to work in a better way.

Gram Vikas Trust (GVT), Bharuch is working on different aspects of the society to improve the standard of living of the people. Mostly working with the marginalized people of the society to improve their status in society as well as try to mobilize them so that they can become independent. The marginalized community especially tribal people of Jhagadia block and women and children are the most priority based focus area of GVT.

Education, doing homework is the way to lift up girls. Around the world, where girls are educated, the economy and standard of living rise.

From the inception of GVT, it has working for the betterment of the society with different approaches. It has been a great learning experience for us to work in the grass root level and understand the root causes of the society. Right now, GVT is working with different projects on education, health and nutrition, sanitation and hygiene promotion, sustainable livelihood with the approaches of people’s participation, capacity building of the marginalized people, keep in mind the child rights and women empowerment in partnership with government, so that the government system can also be strengthen.

In Bharuch district, the Jhagadia block is a tribal block. In this era also this block is still under developed. The girls are still not study further after completing their primary education, they gets dropped out and get married in their younger age. GVT has organized different activities to promote education among girls, also providing vocational training so that they can stand on their feet. We majorly focusing on education, we believe that education can change the life of one’s and educate a women/girl will educate a family.

GVT has seen good results after the years, but still there are many girls who are not able to get support from us. GVT is trying to reach out to all the girls to make their future bright. Support us in this noble cause to improve the education level and to give a brighter future to this needy girls.
