The Need
Global dropout rates continue to increase. In rural areas, nearly 40% of children drop out of schools before they reach the eighth grade. We attribute this to lack of after-school support from peers or parents, and unavailability of professional support in rural places.
This has been an ongoing problem for several decades. Unfortunately, rural areas are often overlooked. Left without help and supervision, children take to the streets and fall into patterns of delinquent behavior. Manavar helps curb learned delinquent behavior by filling the after-school gap.
Our Impact
We organize and operate P2P learning and leadership development in our after-school program. Our programs have structure: we group the students according to their classes or years and guide them towards peer-to-peer learning. We also identify gifted students among each group and assign an accountability leader for the group, while professional teachers facilitate the experience.
We don’t just focus on homework; we also concentrate on the reading and writing skills of every child. As encouragement, we provide a snack or light dinner so that no one is learning on an empty stomach.
Currently, we have 12 centers assisting 400 children, from 5th grade to 12th grade.
Children assisted from 5th through 12th grade.
