Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development. Humana People to People India (HPPI) is dedicated towards providing education and ensuring that children and youth get equal opportunity and access to quality education along with improved learning outcomes.
In 2016 we have expanded our program for Out of School Children, KADAM - The Step Up Program, in partnership with several partners, both national and international forundations and companies and also with the Government of Haryana and are now aiming for reaching out to 30,000 Out of School Children (OOSC) over the coming three years.
Through the KADAM - Step Up Centres for OOSC, Humana People to People India will address inhibiting factors to OOSC enrolment and retention, namely: lack of parental reinforcement, due to low awareness on their part; children ill-equipped to navigate the changing dynamic of relationships in formal school settings; and poorly financed mainstreaming initiatives that, in effect, compromise the functionality of accelerated-learning programmes and skills development.
The KADAM – Step Up Centres, with its integrated approach by engaging a wide array of stakeholders, such as the child, parents, school and community and also the participation from government, private companies and individuals has been a model to facilitate economic viability and outreach.
The programme in the KADAM Step Up Centres involves innovative value additions over the State mainstreaming curriculum which aims at bringing about holistic development of the child by tempering his/her academic, inter-personal and societal skills that would enhance their capacity to drive their own learning and acclimatize to their new life at school.
We would like to thank all our partners, volunteers and patrons who donate for our causes, for making all of this possible, and look forward to the continued support and efforts in the years ahead.
