“The Friedman Foundation For Educational Choice”

Under this project Life Skill training is provided to schools of rescued children of SC& ST Community from child labour in Bihar. We are running this project in 5 such rehab schools of Bihar since 2013.

In 2016 -18, more than 200 rescued children were trained and taken care of at different districts of Bihar and Jharkhand: Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bettiah, Ranchi and Dumka.

We are providing operational support to “Madhya Vidhalaya” since 2011. The school is for orphan/begging/street children of Bihar with residential facility for the children upto the age of 14 years. Donation Camps are also conducted to meet the needs of the children.

The school is at Muzaffarpur District of Bihar affiliated to CBSE. In 2016-18, we enrolled 125 helpless children with the help of our local campaign and volunteers.

The mobile school or Chalta Firta Gyan Kendra was initiated to reach out to children who were out of school or had dropped out. The youth animator visited their houses motivated children and parent’s on the importance of education. The children are provided education in an interactive and meaningful way. This is a multistep process in which we facilitate the door-step learning Mobile School to Reinstate School dropouts: and then further enrolment into the school.

The 1st step includes the assembly at the common place in the village and learning the basics by the tutors and the volunteers. The 2nd step includes the enrolment of children to the nearby govt. school. In the final step the enrolled students are monitored for their attendance. Regular counselling, performance analysis of each enrolled student and those who backed out are reached for the re-counselling session. The program is presently being run over the Izra- Nawada Panchayat and Sakri under Madhubani District. Altogether we are at Sixteen Centres. More than 800 school dropouts have been re-joined/Joined to the nearby schools.
