At Asha-Kiran, we believe that education is paramount in the task of preventing or reducing social exclusion. At the same time, the field of education is one of the basic social spaces that better connects people, families and communities.
June is a month of new steps for A-K. We are launching a new Project that will unfold in several stages and which aims to improve the quality of primary education of two schools in the city of Pune (Maharashtra), through our interaction with children, teachers and parents, working jointly to foster their participation in the primary education process, and supporting a positive atmosphere that is conducive to learning.
To this end, Asha-Kiran is starting a series of initiatives to provide the resources that the 800 students who attend these two schools need to have quality education, and that the latter always guarantees gender equality.
Asha-Kiran complements this educational Project with health programs that include dental health and vision care (preventive and curative), and the promotion of sports activities. These initiatives also intend to raise students’ and parents’ awareness of the importance of ongoing school attendance.
The Project implies the following:
• Fostering the interest and participation of teachers and parents in educational processes
• Improving teaching
• Providing educational tools and material
• Improving school facilities
• Improving the students’ health
• Carrying out creative and arts workshops
