Education Program:
Bangladesh is a being a poor
country here illiteracy is considered as a curse of getting development.
So education is necessary for human and social development and it is a
basic human right. Unfortunately, the people of our country are
still suffering from the curse of illiteracy. Rainbow Nari O Shishu
Kallyan Foundation believes that as soon as the people of our country will
ascend on the educational ladder, economic and political stability will be
restored and; as a consequence, a just society will be established.
Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallyan
Foundation upholds emphasis on Basic Education (BE) comprising functional
education, literacy, post literacy/continuous education, livelihood development,
life skill development, adult education, early childhood education, human
resource development and so on for keeping its
target groups (disadvantaged and poorest people especially women and
children) on the right track towards sustainable future. So it stared its function
to spread the light of education among the illiterate people.
Internalizing the fact, Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallyan Foundation started
its Education Program back in 1996 through providing need based education to the
community people catering to them. Our education programs/projects/courses
are designed to provide literacy and numeric along with general
knowledge, skills and values to the target groups through constructive and
basic education. The activities under Education Program includes about 20 general social issues, such
as nutrition, environment, pollution issues, basic business management,
child care, prevention of communicable common diseases, health and
hygienic, balance diet, family planning, HIV/AIDS/STDs prevention,
personal health care, leadership development etc. It contains Community
Demand Driven (CDD) and problem
solving holistic approach. The BE classes have proved to be an excellent
forum for group information and motivation.
Since 1996 under education
program, Rainbow Nari O Shishu
Kallyan Foundation has been conducting and organizing institutional
development program making the disadvantaged people organized through
group formation that they can be able to achieve necessary life skills and
develop leadership within effective and comprehensive interaction. For
example, through its three adult education centers in urban areas of Dhaka
City, about three hundred illiterate beneficiaries are getting the
opportunities to take complete livelihood development oriented education in every shift. Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallyan
Foundation offered an opportunity for education to the adolescent girls
from the poor and landless families within the program intervention areas
who either have never been enrolled in a formal school or have been
dropped out due to extreme poverty as well.
Recently, Rainbow Nari O Shishu
Kallyan Foundation launched its primary education program called Basic
Education for Working Adolescents and Street Children (BEWASC) to provide
access to the working children with basic rights to primary education,
especially who do not have the family support or whose families are
dysfunctional. So far, Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallyan Foundation has
established two BEWASC schools with the funding from dedicated individuals
from the community and through the organizations own fund as a pilot
project.
