Although the problem of illiteracy has been the subject of much debate, recent reports assess that there are approximately 59 million out-of-school children in India alone. Due to socio-economic factors, the enrollment of girls is low and dropout rates for both boys and girls are high. Child labor, emotional and physical abuse, class and caste structures, lack of access to schools and other educational opportunities, and shortage of teaching professionals, contribute to the prevention of literacy in many rural areas across the world. Due to poor economic, social, and political growth, rural areas are not able to provide any alternative educational spaces where literacy practices would enable children to counter the complex forces that prevent achievement and success.
SPREAD International (Society for the Promotion of Rural Education and Development International) aims to provide under-privileged children across the globe with an opportunity to gain access to the lifelong gift of education. We believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, which allows children to take active control of their lives and create better and more meaningful futures.
SPREAD International's approach to combating illiteracy is to create an overall healthy, supportive environment in which at-risk children in rural villages in the developing world can successfully rural youth entails the long-term establishment of schools, hostels, study centers in remote and tribal Our commitment to the improvement of literacy focuses on the intertwined relationship between structural and social impediments that hinder students. Aside from simply providing the physical space in which students study and learn, we believe in instilling familial motivation for learning, and encourage parents and other members of the family to support the growth of their children in a nurturing environment that provides proper health care, nutrition, and overall physical and emotional well-being.
Our primary intervention is by setting up hostels to educate and take care of orphans and children from backward caste/tribal that have been forced into labor. Given our process we are able to effectively educate our children quite efficiently at a nominal cost of $ 350 per child for one year. Please click here for more details.
Other interventions include setting up rural hamlet education centers, study center, providing resources to support rural school infrastructure and provide scholarships.
Ventured into rural development activities with modest and limited resources. Our success is undoubtedly due to the pioneering efforts of volunteers and other local organizations that are endlessly working to ensure educational objectives for impoverished children are effectively met. In order to continue this work, however, we rely upon contributions from foundations and private donors. Your donations will impact the lives of many children who lack the basic necessities to combat poverty.
We value your donations and believe in efficiency and transparency. Ninety six cents of every dollar donated goes directly to the operations we support. We are extremely lean in our operations and the cost to take care of one child is $ 350/yr including food, health care, uniforms, shelter and educational supplements.
