“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty and a building block of development. For everyone everywhere, literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman, and child can realize his or her full potential." (Kofi Annan).
India has one of the largest illiterate population in the world. “Education is a day-dream for many children whose constant and continuous struggle is for food and survival. Sukarya's project, "Education on Wheels - Udaan" addresses the need for education for this category of children whose parents eke out a living and leave the children to fend for themselves in the slums of Gurgaon. Education on Wheels takes the initiative to reach out to such children in their slum and holds classes, empowering many with the beginning of their first-ever formal learning, giving many the awareness of the joy of reading and benefiting yet others with the vision that education provides.
Education on wheels (EOWs) is a unique program where the school comes home. EOW is a well equipped bus with computers, TV and other essential education related materials. This unique and innovative model in education introduced in order to reach out to the children living in vulnerable conditions with no access of education and learning environment. The project is innovative in its approach by providing multi grade teaching, in which children of different age groups and level of learning are taught together by experienced teachers who use special methods and techniques to make learning enjoyable. Sukarya is running this project in 2 slums in Gurgaon.
Monthly health checkups are an important component of our Education on Wheels Project. EOW keeps an eagle eye on the health status of its students and focuses on promoting their overall good and productive health. The children are checked for height, weight, hemoglobin and general infections. Children requiring any medical help are given necessary medicines and are counselled about ways to improve their health. EOW also builds awareness with the children on health, personal hygiene, sanitation and importance of consuming a nutritious diet.
“A child without education is like a bird without wings.” ~ Tibetan proverb. Yet many children in India are denied this basic right. Let’s change this. Donate and support our initiative EDUCATION ON WHEELS to ensure more children get education in the slums and around construction sites in Gurgaon. Every contribution counts.
Step in and help! If not everyone, why not one! Contribute to fund the education for one child. Give their dreams wings; Wings of Literacy! Every contribution counts.
