Budhiya's Dream By PRAVAH

Total Target: INR 360000/- for 30 children for 1 year including education and one square meal.

Budhiya is only 13 years old and earn Rs. 50 every day by making bidis leaving her school. Improper diet is restricting her mental and physical growth. Every morning while she passes by her school to collect bidi leaves, her eyes search for the golden days she spent there with her friends but soon she realizes that earning money to feed empty stomach is her first priority. Hundreds of such Budhiyas from Sonaraithadi of Jharkhand are compelled to lead such life leaving their childhood behind.


Labour To Learners

2 out of 3 children drop out or become irregular to schools before completing their elementary level of education in Jharkhand

These drop-out girls are being deprived of a fulfilling childhood owing to lack of resources and support. They fear that they may not come up with studies again. They are waiting for the hand which will offer them another chance to redefine their future. Your donation will help them in reassuming their studies.

The School Drop-out rates in Jharkhand are very high compared to the national average. According to the FMIS report (2006-2007) almost 68 percent in the state drop out before completing their elementary level of education. Dropout rates are high among SC girls, where, only one-fourth of them are retained at the elementary level.

A District level analysis of Jharkhand by Pratham (2012), highlights that Deoghar has the second higher percentage of children i.e, 40.9percent who can read letters and words and the lowest proportion of children who can recognize numbers.

Your donation can make a huge difference in their life.

What we do?

We have designed bridge course to meet the need of such children through concept of joyful learning in “KSHAMATA” a school building made for drop- out girls at Sonaraithadi itself. Moreover, we arrange classes to make quality education available near those children who cannot reach “Kshamata” due to distance barriers. Our effort and intervention through this school and mobile classes has resulted into successful outcome. Many of our children got mainstreamed after completing bridge course in basic education in government schools.


Stories of change :

Hemanti Hembrem and Sanjati hembrem, daughters of Mangleshwar Tudu and Mano Tudu from village Dhanwe of Sonaraithadi had left school in 2017 in class 3. After regular counseling, of Hemanti and her parents, they started bridge course at “KSHAMATA” School and mainstreamed at Dhanwe Middle School in 2018 in class 5. Teklal Murmu, the teacher at school still helps her in regaining confidence in studies. Hemanti dreams to be a teacher in future whereas Sanjati is still finding answer to the question of future profession.

Rupa Murmu is another girl of Sonaraithadi whose left school after Primary education to support household chores at age of 12 after her sister Nunni’s marriage at very early age. Rupa used to pass her days collecting woods from forest and helping her mother in the household chores. Last year she and her parents were convinced to send her to “KSHAMTA” for 2 hours only. Gradually through interactive sessions she started gaining interest in studies. Now she has taken re-admission in nearby government school in class 6.

Many more lives can be changed through this intervention like Hemanti, Sanjati and Rupa. Limited resources are the only obstacle which is keeping these girls away from their bright future. Study materials, teachers and running kitchen are all that is needed to bring these girls to their dream. Your contribution is the valuable link through which we can make quality education available to these children with one square meal.


What we want to achieve.

Through our movement “From Bidi making to Students” we want to provide quality education to 30 such children who are compelled to left school at such early stage of life in rural areas of Sonaraitahri block of Deoghar, Jharkhand. We want to provide quality education with one square meal to these unprivileged children at “KSHAMTA” (School for drop-outs) through joyful learning sessions. This will help to them to cope up with the blanks in the education thus providing them a chance to connect with regular schooling.

Your Contribution can take Budhia back to school.
