‘Mainstreaming the School Dropouts’ at Dasana

The third child development centre ‘Holy Cross Child Development Centre’ under the project ‘Mainstreaming the School Dropouts & Overall Child Development through Open School Program’ has been launched on August 01, 2023 at Dasana, Ghaziabad with financial & moral support from MANOS UNIDAS, Spain.  We express our sincere gratitude to ‘Manos Unidas’.

 

We extend support to 75 most needy children (school dropouts and going), especially girls, from every folk in life. Through the program, we are able to support children from economically weaker families and will integrate them into mainstream education. Among the dropouts, two-thirds are girls and they struggle more, so we have given more preference to girls. We should make parents & children aware of the importance of education, especially for girls, for their future life.

 

It is being implemented with the collaboration of Holy Cross Sisters at Dasana, Masuri, Ghaziabad.  Sr. Vineeta Kulesh HC, Coordinate the program at centre level.

 

Non-formal classes, according to the school syllabus, conduct for the children on a regular basis. Moreover, we organize extra-curricular activities for children to improve their creativity and skills, organize medical camps, monthly health / hygiene awareness classes for children.  Dropouts will be encouraged to go back to mainstream education in the next possible period and the support will be continued.
