The teaching standard in rural areas is not very high and the drop out rate for girls at class 5 is very high. Girls who continue on to class 6 and 7 need extra attention to cope with their studies.
This project targets 40 to 50 girls between ages 11 and 15. Asha MIT is supporting a project with $500/year to provide after school help/tutoring to supplement the school teaching to motivate girls who would otherwise drop out to cope with their studies and stay in school.
Nutritional supplements are also provided since a lot of these girls are malnourished and suffer from nutritional deficiencies.
