Education

In India children have a right to education. With 44% of India’s population being made up of children, its education infrastructure needs to be vast enough to capacitate them.

By providing children with a safe and strong learning environment, we enable them to act and mitigate their own risks in the future. This makes them resilient.

Children are the most vulnerable social groups due to their physical, psychological and social vulnerabilities. This makes them unable to cope with big disasters or even daily shocks and stresses. One way to reduce this vulnerability is to provide them with a strong and safe learning environment that enables them to act and mitigate their own risks in the future. This is not achievable considering the present condition of schools in India. Many of the primary educational institutions in India do not have access to proper electricity, sanitation and qualified teachers. True, just having great school infrastructure is not sufficient to improve learning outcomes, but it is certainly a necessary condition.
