Sponsor clothing and school supplies for a poor child

Impact

Every monthly donation helps in educating more kids like Chaitra

Chaitra Uday Kodiya is a ten-year old-little-girl studying in 5 at the Government Higher Primary School at Ajjibala in Sirsi Taluk. Chaitra comes from a poor agricultural family and the total family income doesn't even suffice to provide the members decent nutritious food.

Workers from Manuvikasa provided Chaitra with basic amenities like notebooks and shoes so that she can continue pursuing an education in a dignified manner. After the organization's intervention, Chaitra has taken a keen interest in her studies, with Social Science, Kannada and Science becoming her favorite subjects.

On one side, where Chaitra couldn't bring herself to communicate properly, on the other side, she has now taken a liking to dancing and aspires to become a teacher someday.

During Jan to June 2022, we have helped 22 poor children with educational and basic necessity materials. Most school authorities reaching us to help the the poor children in their school. Already we have collected 100 potential beneficiary list. We have covered Sirsi, Siddapur and Yellapur blocks of Uttara Kannada District under this activity.

Prepare the feed back reports and send. After our intervention, confidence level in the children has increased. Children will not feel inferiority complex and their attendance in the class also improved. Every material in the kit is helpful to these children.


Challenges faced and next steps

Beneficiary selection and kit distribution is quite challenging as the potential beneficiary list is much more. We have to select the right beneficiary who is in urgency. During rainy season, kit distribution is challenging as all the villages are in very remote place.

Most of the poor parents are unable to fulfil the need of their children especially providing necessary learning materials and casual clothes. Price of the learning materials is hiking day by day. In this situation poor families could not afford these materials. Children from these families are suffering from inferiority complex. They start stealing notebooks, pens etc from others bags. Children those are from financially good background wore colour full dresses but poor children only see this. Some children use only rough notes and never get an opportunity to write these notes on a good notebook. Just because of this, these children couldn’t score much although they are capable. Some children stop their education in the middle. To stop this, we have to help these children and provide casual dress and educational needs.
