EDUCATION

Shiksha Ki Aur
Through our #ShikshaKiAur education support programs, we strive to reach out to the most marginalized children of India and enable their access to education, health and protection. Along with quality education, we also facilitate sessions on basic education, alternative and values education, life skills and life goals, child rights, the effects of drug abuse, protection from sexual abuse, primary health care and nutrition.
We provide children with school starter kits, which include uniforms, books, school bags, and other materials they may need to starttheir journey into education. The overarching goal is to ensure education for all. We also seek to link the families of these children with sustainable livelihoods so that household economic security is achieved.
Back to School
These statistics underscore a critical issue surrounding menstruation awareness among adolescent girls in government schools. Shockingly, 71% of girls aged 13-16 are unaware of menstruation until they experience their first period, highlighting a profound lack of education on this natural process. This gap in knowledge contributes to a pervasive stigma that results in girls missing an average of 65 to 78 days of school per year due to period shame. Tragically, approximately 20% of these girls end up dropping out of school permanently due to the stigma associated with menstruation. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive efforts to provide menstrual hygiene education, promote awareness, and ensure access to sanitary products ,thus enabling girls to attend school with out fear or shame.
In our #BackToSchool program we Distribute Menstrual Hygiene kit in Gov. school to ensure girls receive education and menstrual hygiene. In rural India, 1 in 5 girls quit school due to menstruation, and 57.2% still use cloth. We're dedicated to ending period poverty through education and support. Together, we can make a lasting difference in their lives.
