The Girls’ School in Kaliyachak in the Nalanda distict of Bihar educates more than eighty girls from nine different villages. The students attend classes I to V currently, and the school aims to add a class each year until the school enrolls 350 girls in 12 classes.
All the students at the Kaliyachak school are from disadvantaged backgrounds, 15% being from very vulnerable communities (Scheduled Caste communities). An average day at the school begins at 7:30 am and ends at 11:30 am. The students arrive and start the day by cleaning their respective classrooms following which they say an all-inclusive prayer. The main subjects taught throughout the day are English, Mathematics, Hindi, Science, Social Studies and General Knowledge, primarily following the State prescribed curriculum.
In a region where only 53% of women are literate, your generous support makes a difference in the lives of these girls. Thank you for giving the gift of education to girls in rural India.
