Campaign Story
About the project
The communities in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, face a serious educational challenge. The lack of access to quality education and infrastructure leads to children dropping out of school and becoming involved in child labor. The long distances to schools and the absence of digital learning opportunities pose significant threats to the secondary and higher education of the children in this community.
Making a difference
CRY America’s Project MMKSS works towards creating Children’s Collectives, sensitizing the School Management Committee (SMCs), ensuring children in the age of 3 to 6 years attend preschool, and teacher learning support is provided to teachers. The key activities under the project are linking children with scholarship programs, vulnerability mapping and work regarding installation of kitchen gardens in model schools and Anganwadi Centers.
