ADOPTING A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL AND SCALING UP ITS INFRASTRUCTURE

ADOPTING A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL BY AAHWAHAN FOUNDSATION

Aahwahan Foundation is a grass-roots NGO with a presence across India that works to elevate the most vulnerable members of society through a number of programs. NGO works in Education, health, environment, women empowerment and community development are the five key sectors in which the organisation works. Our team, which is comprised of young individuals who want to make an impact in the community, has always been focused on developing innovative solutions that would aid in the advancement of society and people. We believe that education is a tool for national growth and advancement, and that by educating young students, we are effecting change not only in their lives, but also in the lives of their families and, as a corollary, in the community as a whole.

The 'adopting government schools and scaling up its infrastructure' program, through which our foundation has adopted over 168 schools in India, is among our education-related ventures. After understanding the needs of a school, our team of experts would work on the betterment of school buildings, classrooms, drinking water, lavatories, benches and desks, and other crucial components of the school's learning environment to promote better student results based on the requirements the schools have. Excellent school infrastructure would not only make learning more efficient, but it would also prevent more students, particularly girls, from dropping out. In addition, our eclectic internal team has devised an unique strategy for transforming and designing the school into a model school in order to attract more students, based on numerous brainstorming.

The model school will not only create a strong foundation for other educational institutions, but it will also encourage and energize students to attend school with enthusiasm and delight. As a result, student dropout rates would be reduced, while enrolment and literacy rates would soar, contributing in the eradication of child labour and child marriage, as well as providing all children with a basic and necessary education that would equip them for future career progression.
