Impact
Every monthly donation helps in the education of more girls like Puja
Puja Kumari lives in a remote village near Chouparan, Jharkhand. She had to discontinue her education after class V due to abject poverty. Every morning she sat in her courtyard and watch her friends go to school. Like many girls in the village, her future was soon to be sealed with an early marriage.
She was then identified by Nav Bharat Jagriti Kendra (NBJK) field workers. Puja's parents were counseled and with the support of a generous donor, she was enrolled to Chandrakala Daga Devei High school. She is now in Grade 6 and enjoys school. She now hopes to not only completing her matriculation but also pursue higher studies.
She has dreams of finishing her education and supporting her family to come out of their impoverished lives.

Program Description
Nav Bharat Jagriti Kendra (NBJK) is committed to encouraging the education of girls by providing the required support. NBJK field workers identify girls studying in village Government schools who drop out due to their family's economic conditions. Studies show 80% of the girls drop out after primary education due to high education costs.
They are also forced to marry at an early age. The field staff works hard to convince their parents to reconsider marriage and to educate their daughters. A written agreement is taken stating that they will not marry their daughters off before the age of 18 helping the girls finish their education without the fear of an early marriage.
The program supports close to 200 girls every year. When you support this program, a girl like Puja will be able to go to school, finish her education and help her family break the cycle of poverty.

Program Update
In Jharkhand the dropout rate of girls from primary school to high school is very high. Generally maximum number of dropouts and deprived girls belongs to remote area. Due to far distance of high schools and no transport facilities in villages, the girls are forced to drop-out after primary schools. So NBJK established a Chandrakala Devi Daga High School in very remote area which is one of the 5th schools running in Chouparan block district Hazaribag especially for girls educationally deprived or dropouts to whom the organization is providing books, tuition fee, and dress. The school is based on Jharkhand Board and result approx more than 98%. Initially, the school was supported by USHA MARTIN but now NBJK is supporting. Most girls of this school are sponsored by GiveIndia and others are supported by other donor and concessional fees. The beneficiaries are the girls who are studying in village govt. school or want to study but due to low family income or social and personal issues they are unable to go to good schools or they left the schools. They are also forced for marriage at early age, and if they do not take admission in school they are mostly married by class 7 or 8. So under this project identification of these beneficiaries is basically done by our NBJK staff after than counseling of parents is done to send them to schools. They receive quality education provided by qualified and experienced teachers in the school. Good Learning and teaching environment is provided. Books and school uniforms are also provided to these girls.
