Dear Friends,
It is my pleasure to share our final report via Global Giving on the progress of our project to provide quality education to the marginalized children in Kishanganj district of Bihar.
The end of March usually sees preparations for year-end evaluations and promotion to new class. AIF will be admitting the students studying in the learning centers to the government schools from April. The children are really excited for this new change in their lives.
Shaheen a ten-year-old girl started coming to the center says, “ It is almost a year now after I started attending classes and now I will join school from the next month.”
Due to paucity of funds and donor support it has become difficult to run the centres.We are really thankful to our esteeemed donors who contributed to this project and helped our students to getting education.

Dear Friends,
We would like to wish Global Giving and our donors a very happy and prosperous new year.
It is my pleasure to share our latest report via Global Giving on the progress of our project to provide quality education to the marginalized children in Kishanganj district of Bihar.
The New Year has begun with a promise of reaching new heights and making education accessable to all the children.
The classes have began post agricultural and festival season from 2 to 4 hours depending upon the availability of the children as most of them help their parents in fields or take care of their younger siblings.Our target is to enrol the children in the age appropriate classes in the formal schools in March when the new session begins.
Rehana our teacher at Kasibari village is a dedicated and trained teacher who is from the community. She says,” teaching girls have ensured that our community will have educated next generation". Her husband has also started helping her in running the center, a giant leap in women empowerment.
Shahnaz an eleven-year-old school dropout started coming to the center. She says, “I am learning basics again and will join formal school from April.”
Some of our centers are closed down due to shortage of funds and donors.
Do contribute to help us reopen the centers and keep these disadvantaged children into the education program. We would be grateful if you can spread the word. We really need support to continue this program.

Marufa our teacher at Maheshmara village is a young teacher who is running the center. She says,” learning is a continuous process and I also learn with these children.” Community support along with Marufa’s efforts is helping girls to continue their education who otherwise would have completely stopped studying.
Yasmin a smiling ten-year-old girl loves coming to the learning center with her younger sister. She says, “It is impossible to study at home as I have to do many chores. Whatever I learn here is the only time I get to open my books”.
Some of our centers are again badly damaged in the second spell heavy rains thus hampering the regular classes.

Azad India Foundation is currently running learning centers in Kashibari, Mahesh Mara, Dhekipara,Simalbari and Kesojhara villages with 5 teachers and 154 children enrolled under Primary Education program. The classes are held for children studying in class I to class V.The duration of the classes varies from 2 to 4 hours depending upon the availability of the children as most of them help their parents in fields or take care of their younger siblings. 65 children have joined mainstream schools in different classes from April. However they continue to come for the remedial classes. Azad India is trying to bring girls to the centers so that they also get good education.
The methodology of teaching and learning is activity and TLM based keeping in mind the need of the children.
Unfortunately we are not getting any donations for last couple of months making it difficult for us to run the other centers. It is the commitment of the teachers and community members that is running this program.
Do contribute to help us keep these disadvantaged children into the education program. We would be grateful if you can spread the word. We really need support to continue this program.
