Strengthening Mainstream Education |
|

The aim is to improve quality of learning to prevent
drop-outs and low levels of literacy. We accomplish this through |
|
| |
|
|
| |
• Community mobilization
• Training
Para Teachers for schools

Early Childhood Education Centers
Children in the age group of 0 to 6 constitute 16% of population.
Rural working women cannot afford professional day care facilities
for their children.
Our Bridge school provide access to a learning platform, address
malnourishment and ensure that children have a safe and creative
environment to play and develop while their parents are away
earning livelihood.
Sibling care is one of the major reasons for children to drop
out of school. Supporting early childhood centers where younger
children are taken care of has ensured that the older kids stay
and continue in school, while inculcating the interest of education
in the younger ones.
Children who are out of school are generally enrolled in bridge
schools where they are educated and enrolled into main stream
schools after helping them improve their learning levels.
Residential Bridge Programs –Lovedale supports residential
Bridge schools to rehabilitate children from working conditions.
In addition to boarding the children are provided uniforms and
other educational materials. Our scholarship program is designed
to help kids who were once working to complete higher education.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
In remote locations of the country there is a problem
of access to schools. Non Formal Education centers are established
and supported in such areas to allow children to learn.

school, please contact

Regular monitoring of children’s attendance
and performance in bridge school and after mainstreaming becomes
crucial to prevent children dropping and rejoining the labour
stream. The need was hence felt for an automated tool which
ensures |
|
| |
|
|
| |
• Standardization of data collected.
• A Centralized data repository
• Analysis of
data collected to sharpen interventions.
• Ability
to check where the child is.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
• Quick visibility of the latest information
of a child.
• Tracking of the children and monitoring service delivery
at each bridge centre at any frequency:
|
|
| |
| |
o Health checkup
o Vocational courses
o Linkages with Government Schemes
o Stipend/ scholarship
o The current status of the child in the program. |
|
|
| |
• Search by name of the child or by Child
Id.
• Tracing the duplicate entry of the child information
in a region or administrative block.
• Tracing dropout
from the bridge centers mainstream school with reasons on why
they have dropped out.
• Monitoring of learning out
comes of the children at the bridge centers and mainstream school
• Exporting of summary data to state an central level
data bases. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
How we monitor..
Step 1: Trained staff in the bridge centre enter details on
prescribed and printed child cards and send the cards to the
Project Office.
Step 2: Child cards scrutinized and cards with errors or incomplete
cards returned to the bridge centre for correction or completion.
Step3: Random verification of data by field officers.
Step4: Child cards once again returned to the bridge centre
for updates.
Step 5: Data exported to Central database

Support to HIV infected children:- Support A
Child |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Losing a parent is terrible
for any child, but children living in developing countries
who lose parents to AIDS face unthinkable hardships. Not only
have they watched their parents die, but they are stigmatized
for having been associated with HIV and AIDS and are often
forced to fend for themselves and their siblings. The result
is that a growing number of helpless children are facing a
cycle of abuse, neglect, stigmatization, malnutrition, poverty
and disease.
In addition to the impact of
HIV and AIDS as a health issue, in developing countries the
repercussions go much further. With entire generations decimated
by the disease, productivity deteriorates and the poverty
of the entire country worsens. Children orphaned by AIDS have
less chance of gaining an education and getting access to
healthcare. Their poverty and vulnerability to exploitation
also significantly increases their likelihood of contracting
HIV themselves.
The combination of ignorance,
fear and shame that surrounds HIV and AIDS in many developing
countries often hinders prevention and stops infected people
from getting the support and compassion they so desperately
need. SAC combats this disease and its effects through education,
prevention, counselling and healthcare, as well as providing
children who have lost family members with the support they
need to survive on a daily basis, complete their education
and create a better future for themselves.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
SAC acts to build awareness and reduce the
stigma that surrounds HIV and AIDS by exposing the fact of
how the HIV virus is transmitted and the action needed to
reduce infection rates and reverse this pandemic.
We work to ensure that those who are infected with HIV get
the physical and psychological support they need. Preventing
opportunistic infections and providing better nutrition and
food security helps prolong the life of the infected parents
and gives them more time with their children.
See the difference you can make!
