Campaign Story

About the project

Villages in Latur district face various challenges; one of the biggest challenges is that people don’t have livelihood opportunities, and families have to migrate to sugarcane farms for cultivation. Children have to leave their schools for 3 to 4 months and go with their parents. For higher classes, children have to travel very far, which is unsafe and causes a financial burden on the family. The rate of child marriage in the area is also 30-35%.

Making a difference

Through the support of CRY America project KMAGVS, the community has found hope to overcome these challenges. The project works directly to provide residential hostels and enrol children in school. The project also works towards strengthening community-based organizations and sensitizing stakeholders on child rights issues focusing on child marriage and child labor.

The way forward

● Youth from 10 villages will be motivated in holding support classes for dropped out and academically weak children
● Have remedial classes for children from 5 villages
● Support classes in 10 project villages
● Career guidance session on vocational courses will be provided to the children above 18 years.
● Sensitization of 8 School Management Committee’s and Schools to address the requirement of separate toilet for girls.
● Capacity building of 162 SMC members on preparation of school development plan.
● 6 Dropout children to be enrolled in open schools
● 5 girls will be supported to participate in block and district level sports events
● Meetings in all 26 project villages as awareness campaign on child trafficking
● 3 Child friendly model panchayats to be developed.
● 3 Villages to declare themselves child marriage free.
● Assessment of 19 village level committees on their understanding of child education and protection

The Girls Who Changed Their Community: A Story of Education and Determination

In Sevapur Tana, a small village, only one school offers education until the fourth grade. Children who want to study beyond the fourth grade have to walk 7 kms one way to reach the nearest school. Due to the long distance to school, parents often don’t let their children go to school and end up marrying them early.

CRY America project KMAGVS is strengthening adolescent groups in the village. They hold awareness sessions for girls, explaining the importance of education and their rights.

During one such session, girls discussed they couldn’t continue to travel such a long distance to attend school. Some girls in the group even received bicycles from KMAGVS, but that wasn’t enough. The girls knew their rights and decided to contact the principal of the school and members of the School Management Committee (SMC) to ask for transportation services.

After much discussion thanks to the girls’ confidence and determination, they agreed to provide free transportation services for these students. As a result, 48 children in the village could now continue their education without having to travel such long distances.

The girls’ small act of bravery and determination significantly impacted their community. They showed that with determination and perseverance they can bring positive change in many children’s lives.
