Child at Risk - (Madanpur Khadar & Kalyanpuri)Oct 2009 to Mar 2010
Impact and sustainability Analysis The PTA members are regularly monitoring the programs especially the education component. They are networking with the local government school to ensure that basic facilities are been provided to children. They are capable of approaching the respective education departments to submit applications and thus improve the facilities in government schools. The Bal Mandal members are also been empowered to ensure that children attend schools regularly and minimize the rate of school drop outs. The tribal families living in Kalyanpuri had always remained marginalized and backward. Through the efforts of the project they now have enhanced health awareness and are coming forward to immunize their children and to attend the ANC clinics. Signs of transformation 15 tribal children in Kalyanpuri are attending the special literacy classes that have been conducted for them. They are so enthusiastic about their studies that many of them reach the centre even before the class hours. 8 to 10 children are being coached for admission into the mainstream. Through rallies and possessions taken out by the literacy children, the respective communities are becoming aware of issues such as child rights, gender discriminations and health problems like malaria, poor environmental hygiene and the negative impact of substance abuse. Women from the tribal families have improved health awareness. During group discussions it was found they are able to express their enhanced knowledge. However they are yet to put into practice their knowledge and their surroundings continue to be dirty and unhygienic. During the next six months the health workers will continue to work with this community. Lesson learnt Meetings for men can be conducted only after 6 pm. Even then attendance will be poor since many of the men hesitate to come out of their homes and participate in such programs. |
