Beneficiary Description | 450 girls and boys between the age group of 10 to 15 years of age, studying in standards 5th to 10th are educated at Rakesh Jain School. Most of the students live in Shivkar village, Panvel. Many students have humble backgrounds and used to find it difficult to access quality education in the village before the school was established. |
Impact | Out of a total of Rs.10 lakhs utilized for the education program in 2019-20 for 450 rural girls and boys from Rakesh Jain Secondary High School, Rs.3,77,350/- was raised through the United Way- Tata Mumbai Marathon. This has enabled the students to receive quality education imparted by our highly trained, motivated and committed teachers. The school went beyond the boundaries of textbooks and syllabus, with an e-learning module that blended traditional classroom teaching with technology to promote interactive learning in classrooms based on their syllabus. The school has an equipped laboratory, library and computer room which is maintained by empowHER India. The students participated in extra-curricular activities like art, gymnastics, sports, mallakhamb, music, dance, yoga, community service and so forth. Children were taught basic and advanced Computer Course, and Communicative English. The 9th and 10th standard students enrolled in the IBT program (Introduction to Basic Technology) now known as the MSFC (Multi-Skill Foundation Course) which gave a hands-on training experience in welding, electric works, animal husbandry and agriculture techniques. empowHER India also took care of the structural repairs and renovation works of the school. Mental health sessions were also conducted. This is how empowHER India supported the school. |
