What kind of support for education is crucial to improve the future prospects of the underprivileged children?
A. The crucial part of the support is to make learning an attractive activity for the child. Deprivations rob the child of his/her energy and sufficient motivation for maintaining sustained interest in studies. The family stresses further weaken his or her motivation. Relief is provided to the child and the family through supplementary financial aid for school related expenses, provision of extra nutrition, additional tutoring, opportunities for cultural, sports and personality enrichment to the child. In addition, family counseling helps encourage parents and sustain their efforts for the child’s education. Mental Health awareness programmes equip parents and teachers make the child’s total environment more responsive. The periodic health check ups, Child Guidance Services, and referrals for specific services aims at a wholistic approach. For more information on the Sponsorship programme, click here.
