Campaign Story
About the project
In Korba, Chhattisgarh education and malnutrition are two very huge problems faced by the communities living there. Lack of access to quality education and infrastructure results in children dropping out of school and getting involved in labor.
Making a difference
CRY America’s project GMSSS works towards creating children’s collectives, sensitizing the SMCs, ensuring children in the age of 3 to 6 years attend preschool and teacher learning manual support is provided to teachers. The key activities under the project are vulnerability mapping, awareness generation for anemia testing, and construction of AWC and school in Sardih.
