Our Programme expansion in North Bengal
Our program’s expansion into North Bengal reflects our commitment to providing comprehensive educational support to underserved communities across the region. By focusing on tailored curriculum, engaging activities, and experienced educators, we aim to bridge educational gaps and empower children with essential skills for academic success.
As we embark on this new journey, our future goals include extending the program to reach more tea garden children, developing sustainable strategies for long-term impact, and forging partnerships with local stakeholders and organizations to enhance program effectiveness and reach.
Through the Remedial Education Program, we are not only teaching subjects but also empowering Adivasi children with the tools they need to build brighter futures. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty and transform lives in North Bengal’s tea garden communities.
