Our Programs

 Objective: Our objective is to provide children with a comprehensive educational foundation.

 

Goal: Our primary goal is to extend our help to students who face barriers in accessing quality education and provide a holistic educational foundation to the Children. Choosing the perfect community for the learning center is crucial because it allows us to pinpoint villages that are in great need.

 

Gramothhan’s Community Learning Centers (CLCs) aims to provide children with a holistic educational foundation, focusing on communities with limited access to quality education. These centers are established in villages where parents lack the resources to support their children’s learning, and students face barriers to regular schooling which causes irregularity. Through a participatory approach, we engage local stakeholders, including Sarpanch, parents, and teachers, to ensure programs are relevant and impactful. Our child-centric and contextual methods emphasize inclusivity and adaptability, using real-world examples to make learning meaningful. By fostering innovation, experimentation, and collaboration, CLCs empower children to take ownership of their education and grow in an environment to create an empowered society.

 

Currently we have 7 existing learning centers in rural Sonepur. These centers are run by local education leaders trained and supported by Gramothhan. Through learning centers, we have successfully 80 children back to school who were dropouts or out of school. Through this initiative 10 children reached 10 standards and prepared for the board exam. Those were out of school.

 

Now we are looking for scalable models of the same initiative with rural Youth. 

Objective: Gramothhan’s STP (School Transformation Program) Program aims to create model schools through its intervention that can act as role models for other Govt Schools. For our intervention schools, we will provide a School Leader from the local area who will help in the school transformation process by using innovative, joyful and contextual learning resources.
Our Goals:
  1. Regularity of students in the school. 
  2. Increase Student Learning Outcomes. 
  3. Increase SMC, Parents, and Community Engagement in school.
  4. Create an effective learning environment at school. 
  5. Create a space for teachers where all teachers from our intervention school will be involved in the Community of Practice and share their best practices with each other.
 The School Transformation Program (STP) aims to address key challenges in government schools by developing model schools that can inspire and guide others. With the support of School Leaders, the program focuses on improving student attendance, enhancing learning outcomes, increasing engagement of SMCs, parents, and the community, and fostering a collaborative and effective learning environment. Our approach includes community engagement through sessions and PTMs, decreasing dropout rates, co-creating classroom interventions with teachers, and supporting educational leaders with innovative teaching strategies like activity-based learning and TLMs. Through these efforts, we are trying to build inclusive, impactful schools that prioritize quality education and collective growth

The objective of the Gramothhan Library Program is to cultivate a love for reading, enhance literacy skills, and create equitable access to diverse learning resources for children in underserved communities.

 By fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity through engaging library activities, the program aims to support holistic learning, improve academic outcomes, and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

The Gramothhan Library Program is designed to nurture a culture of reading and enhance literacy among children. By establishing libraries in schools and community spaces, the program provides access to diverse books and resources that cater to the linguistic and cultural contexts of the region. Through engaging activities such as storytelling sessions, book discussions, and creative writing workshops, the program fosters critical thinking, imagination, and a lifelong love for learning. Gramothhan also collaborates with teachers, parents, and community members to integrate library activities into regular learning, ensuring holistic development and improved learning outcomes for every child.

We have more than 5000 books of diverse publications such as Tulika, Pratham, eklavya, NBT, CBT and more. Supported 20+ government schools for installing the library in Schools and running the books with the technical support of Gramothhan. 

 

The objective of Gramothhan’s Youth Development Program is to empower young individuals by enhancing their leadership, decision-making, and personal growth skills and motivate them to take initiatives in education.

 

Gramothhan is committed to empowering youth by fostering leadership, promoting personal growth, and enhancing decision-making skills. Through interactive sessions focused on sharpening self-awareness, active listening, group collaboration, and practicing inclusiveness across caste, religion, and gender, we aim to develop well-rounded young leaders. By engaging with youths in local communities, we encourage them to embrace their potential, take on leadership roles, and contribute meaningfully to their development and the betterment of their communities. Gramothhan’s focus on youth development and their role in driving change ensures a generation of responsible citizens actively shaping a more inclusive and equitable society.

Through our partnership with Goonj CFW, We endeavour to build awareness and empower the community’s people. We are committed to nurturing a connection rooted in empathy, dignity, and mutual appreciation, bridging the gap between the challenges faced by the less privileged and the affluent.

The objective of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is to equip children with essential emotional intelligence, empathy, and resilience skills to address the challenges they face due to personal, familial, or societal issues.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) integration became an essential part due to the challenges faced in schools and communities, such as the effects of alcohol-addicted parents, violence, discrimination, and psychological issues arising from students’ family backgrounds. Teachers also found it difficult to meet their educational expectations due to these complex circumstances. SEL was integrated to address these issues, focusing on developing children’s emotional intelligence, empathy, and resilience. This helps improve their behavior, manage emotions, and build better relationships, contributing to regular school attendance and improved learning outcomes. SEL supports both the emotional well-being of children and the overall goals of the school transformation program by creating a supportive environment that promotes academic and personal growth.

 

 

Objective:

  1. Promote Regular Attendance: Empower girls to stay in school and participate fully through better menstrual hygiene management.
  2. Eliminate Stigma: Create awareness to break menstruation-related taboos and build a supportive environment.
  3. Empowerment and Leadership: Foster leadership among girls, enabling them to advocate for their needs and inspire change.
  4. Parental and Community Awareness: Educate parents and community members about menstrual health to ensure sustained support for girls’ education.

 

Gramothhan’s Menstruation and Hygiene Program addresses the challenges faced by girls due to inadequate knowledge, limited access to sanitary products, and cultural taboos surrounding menstruation. Through educational workshops, inclusive teaching methods, and community awareness campaigns, the program empowers girls to manage their menstruation with dignity, ensuring regular school attendance and active participation in community life. By engaging students, parents, teachers, and local leaders, Gramothhan aims to eliminate stigma, promote menstrual health, and create a supportive environment that fosters leadership and equal opportunities for girls.

The Gramothhan Gender Equity Program tackles the deep-rooted challenges of gender discrimination in education through comprehensive strategies that empower students, engage communities, and train educators. The program focuses on breaking gender biases by conducting student sessions on gender education, equipping teachers with gender-sensitive teaching methods, and involving parents and community members in discussions to support equal educational opportunities. By fostering inclusive school environments and encouraging leadership among all students, Gramothhan aims to eliminate barriers, promote regular participation in classrooms, and create a future where every child, regardless of gender, can thrive and fulfill their potential.

 Gramothhan’s Child Rights Intervention focuses on creating awareness and ensuring the protection of children’s rights within schools and communities. Through educational sessions, community engagement, and collaborations with local stakeholders, the program addresses issues like child labor, early marriage, and access to quality education.
