Educational Support

Educational Support to 1000 Underprivileged Children

PROJECT SUMMARY:

Education is a core focus area of ATMA Foundation. As a responsive NGO, ATMA Foundation, since the beginning of the pandemic, has been providing direct financial and material support for the education of underprivileged children. We have provided school kits, digital devices and nutrition kits to 600 plus children last year.

Realizing the gravity of the issue and the urgent need, ATMA Foundation is now taking up a long-term project for educational support.

Through this project, ATMA aims to provide books, learning materials and uniforms to at least 1000 children in need every year. The children will also be provided tutoring and mentoring support by expert teachers through online and offline channels.

The Problem:

Learning disruption has been a major fallout of the covid-19 pandemic the world over. Children from socio-economically backward families have been the worst hit.

Some of the major challenges they face are:

Parents losing their job/ income due to pandemic
Parents or children themselves suffering from Covid & post covid health issues
With schools closed, their major learning avenue is no longer available
No access to digital devices
No support/ supervision from parents in academic matters
Unable to take external support due to pandemic restrictions

In this situation, as the family struggles for sustenance and basic necessities, the child’s education also will deeply affected.

This might seem to be a temporary phenomena. Once the learning disruption has occurred, it is very difficult for the child to get back on track. So lack of proper education for one or two years creates a huge learning gap. This creates distress and lack of confidence. And might lead to loss of interest in studies, resulting in a drop-out.

The hopes of a bright future are dashed, and the child gets trapped in the poverty cycle.

The Solution

Firstly, the financial issues have to overcome. Since parents are in no situation to take up the burden of providing for educational requirements, direct material or financial support is essential. Notebooks, textbooks, other learning accessories, uniforms, etc have to be provided to the children. In addition, digital devices will also have to be provided where required.

Secondly, these children do not have anyone at home to support them with their school work, clear their doubts or motivate them to study. So they need tutors and mentors to help them cope with their school work.

The ATMA Commitment

ATMA Foundation, as an NGO committed to child development and education, is now taking up a long-term project to ensure support to children in need of care.

Material Support
1000 deserving children hailing from socio-economically deprived circumstances is being identified by our volunteer network. After a comprehensive need assessment, the children will be provided textbooks, notebooks, uniforms and learning accessories as required. It will be provided in the form of material support by linking with local vendors, to ensure that the money is utilised solely for the intended purpose. School fees will be paid directly to the respective schools where necessary.

Learning Support
ATMA also has a learning support system for these children. With our learning platform, ATMA Uyare, we will provide these children unlimited access to quality video and print content to help them with school syllabus. The children will enroll in our tutoring and mentoring programme, where they will get attention, care and guidance from dedicated tutors. Through this programme the children will get regular classes to improve their foundations in mathematics and english, develop better learning skills and bridge learning gaps. Further, to improve their school performance, the subject tuitions also will give to the children.

Atma Foundation in their effort to initially support 1,000 students through Educational Support seeks support for the project.

A fundraising might tackles the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the education of children in India. ATMA Foundation is raising funds for this project through the GiveIndia Fundraising Challenge 2022.
