The project aims at primary non-formal education of children from Toto tribes. The project also is a way to foster parent-teacher and community relationships that will help in establishing a livelihood. A substantial portion of this tribe is inflicted with thalassaemia. The project uses alternative techniques for education and environmental studies.
The aims of our group are to establish self-help rural civil society equipped with capacity and skill for livelihood development, gender justice and human rights.

RGBK has pioneered grassroots growth that is marked by extensive involvement of villagers not only as beneficiaries, but also as planners, managers, and leaders.
