Campaign Story
About the project
The project works in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh. It has been observed that though the Anganwadi teachers are providing Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), currently, it can be better. The preschool readiness program is not being implemented due to lack of skills in Anganwadi workers, which needs to be addressed. Also, children are dropping out of school and moving towards child labor.
Making a difference
CRY America’s Project Pragathi is working to ensure quality education for children in the intervention area, reduction of child labor, formation of children collectives and developing life skills. The activities taken under the project are, ensuring admission of children above 3 years into the preschool program of Anganwadi, sensitizing parents of dropout children on the importance of education and encouraging teachers to visit families with child laborers, thus urging parents to send them back to school.
