EDUCATION STRENGTHENING PROGRAM

Allowing underprivileged children to be left behind from efforts improving access to education will only perpetuate their cycle of poverty and the countless human rights violations they face on the streets or homes every day. Providing street children with access to education can not only provide safe spaces and security whilst they are on the streets, but also opportunities to move away from the streets and go on to lead happy and healthy adult lives.

SJSJ is implementing Education Strengthening Program with a view to facilitate underprivileged students of pre-primary, grade-1, and grade-2 classes belong to low-income households, especially children from remote areas, slum areas and street to curb dropout. Under this program hundred over Learning Centres have been established across the country to provide basic education and doorsteps tuition service to the target group. For each centre, a mentor has been assigned who offers tuition assistance to the underprivileged children through five classes in a week. A number of 200 students are deriving benefits out of this program.

Syllabus: We prepare a short syllabus for pre-primary,grade 1 and grade 2 with the help of several primary school teachers for the underprivileged children.

Source of Fund: Few private banks and individual donors are helping to continue this learning centres. Most of the nutrition stuffs are supplied by prominent Food manufactures of Bangladesh.

Learning centres: We have 8 learning points in Dhaka and 2 outside Dhaka. Approximately 20 children are getting benefited from each learning centre. A very dedicated team of volunteers, mentors and project staffs are working devotedly to educate this children and combat child labour through education interventions. We also provide nutritious foods and  family counselling occasionally.
