Vidyoday Foundation is synonymous to applied education where we support under privileged children to create opportunities for themselves so they live better lives and have a future with many possibilities to look forward to.
Vidyoday Foundation is cognizant of the limitations of our society and challenges faced by families that limit or impede a child’s education. We focus on providing a robust ecosystem so each child can develop healthy social interaction skills, critical skills like decision-making, mental agility, problem-solving skills, and logical thinking.
WHO WE HELP
We step in to support the girl child’s education
Financially challenged parents with two or more children often prioritize the education of the male child
We support students who come from a financially challenged family so they can focus on education, worry-free
Students are singled out and feel humiliated in class when their parents aren’t able to pay the annual fee
We provide security to single, working mothers where their children will receive the necessary academic experience
Single mothers who struggle to put food on the table and may be uneducated themselves
HOW WE HELP: The Chingari Project
The project is based on the idea that senior students tutor junior students belonging to 1st through 4th standard. The junior students are provided with one-to-one support under the supervision of teachers, making it comfortable to focus on their weak areas. The family and personal backgrounds of each of these students is kept in mind to provide them with special care as required by them.
The project also seeks to provide senior students with learning opportunities to advance their teaching and leadership skills. In return, the Foundation provides monetary payment to these students for their contribution.
The advantage to all participants in this project creates enthusiasm and momentum to illuminate the brilliance of the students lagging behind as well as high performing students. Consequently the tutored students have increased classroom participation and successful overall performance. The most important factor in children’s education is the extent to which we teach them to enjoy learning! Teaching a child to take pleasure in study is the greatest guarantor of their intellectual success.
This is the tenth year for Chingari and the programme has evolved over time to accommodate students through different life and academic situations. New methods of teaching and various strategies have been tried to enhance the programme.
