Asha is supporting resource and education centres that play a vital role in preventing potential child labourers (school-going children from slum communities who are unable to perform well due to lack of good coaching in schools) from dropping out of schools and becoming child labourers.
Short-term goal is to provide the children with proper education environment and the long-term objective is to upgrade the school to provide higher secondary school education for the children. Among the resources that are required to establish a proper education environment, library is identified to be of prime importance. The children are struggling to access knowledge sources like good books, newspapers, brainteasers, etc. Because of the limitations in transportation, they are not able to access the public library resources also. This project ANANDAM (means eternal happiness) of ASHA is primarily aimed at solving this problem of the children in this organization.
There are also other training programs planned for paramedical health workers to train them in a systematic way. Initially 10 students minimum with higher secondary qualification will be trained on subjects in paramedical science, enumeration of health problems, survey, distribution of medicines, home visits, health education. For this an institute building has to be constructed.
