GIRL BENEFICIARIES

Seva Bharathi volunteers go to the slums/rural areas and choose the group of girl students who studying in govt. schools, small private schools or school dropouts.

Then, from the same area a college girl or Teacher or Housewife is selected as mentor (Nirvahak) and a tuition centre is established in a house or community centre or school premises nearby – so girls are grouped together to be tutored with a familiar mentor in a familiar place. In these centres the Nirvahaks will support the girl students in their studies for 2 to 2 ½ hours after the school hours. Each group would be of 25 students maximum per centre, if the strength is more we start another centre in that ara. The targeted age group is 10-18 years girl either going to school or school dropout. Once the girl joins the centre she will get Education, Moral Values & Family Ethics, Vocational Training, Personality Development, Helth Tips, Awareness of Hygiene & Cleanliness, Career Counselling and Extra Curriculum activities.
