Campaign Story
About the project
In the Kotra block of Udaipur, education of tribal children continues to be a matter of serious concern. Surveys and studies in southern Rajasthan repeatedly indicate that a large number of tribal children drop out after completing primary school or middle school. The major reasons for dropping out early from school besides poverty is the poor quality of education, non-availability and lack of accountability among teachers.
Making a difference
CRY America’s Project KAS is working to build capacity in the communities for ensuring quality education for children and engaging with the community and schools for mainstreaming drop out and never been to school children. The activities which take place under the project are providing information on health and hygiene related infrastructure gaps with SMC to ensure improvement for controlling COVID-19 pandemic in schools. Right to education, child protection and child labor issues are raised and advocated in the meetings of the Gram Sabha, linking families with social security schemes.
