Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life. It is a movement from darkness to light. Without education, people get caught in the inter-generational cycles of poverty and backwardness. Seven decades have passed after independence but still, India struggles to achieve a literacy rate of over 90 per cent. Providing quality education to all children of India should be the top priority of both the State and Central governments. And thus, the different departments of the Government of India often support charities to bring more and more children under the ambit of their education initiatives.

How Onehapy Association are contributing to the cause of education

Onehapy Association like Save the Children have been spearheading the movement to provide quality education to the most marginalized and deprived children of India. With programs in the most remote and marginalized areas of India, Onehapy Association ensures that the benefits of the Right to Education Act reach the most deprived children. The idea is to ensure that all children, irrespective of their origin, are able to go to school, play, interact and learn with other children of their age so that they secure for them a life of dignity and contribute to the betterment of the economy. Donate to an Onehapy Association today and help them spread education by the following measures:

1. Most important aspect to boost the spread of education is to spread awareness amongst the parents and the communities and every child needs education. The message needs to spread far and wide and getting quality education is the legitimate right of all children, no matter which social or economic background they come from. Save the Children connects with the most backward communities, where there are several instances of children squandering their childhood in fields and factories or dropping out of school, and counsels parents and elders on the importance of sending children to school.
2. Another important aspect to improve the penetration of quality education among the most deprived children is to make learning a fun experience. Onehapy Association like Save the Children train teachers to impart learning using child-friendly and interactive teaching-learning methods. Onehapy Association sets libraries and infrastructure right, conducts computer and English classes, promotes and facilitates extra-curricular activities and sports.
3. Onehapy Association engage heavily with the local communities to form Children Groups (CGs) and School Management Committees (SMCs) and work with them to ensure that they take accountability of the development of the children in their community. Massive enrolment drives are conducted in which out-of-school and vulnerable children are mapped and enrolled into formal schools in age-appropriate classes.
4. Group learning has proved to be one learning methodology which helps children learn better and fast and also promotes healthy competition. In classrooms, Save the Children encourages and helps children to undertake learning activities in groups.
5. Metros such as Kolkata and Delhi are home to a large number of urban poor who live in slum or slum-like areas. Children in these communities are often involved in child labor and have very little or no access to education. Save the Children runs learning centers for street children and child laborers coming from socially-excluded communities where they are provided learning and/or after-school support. The idea is to groom these children and help them take the leap to formal schooling.
