#ProtectAGeneration: Help Children Like Arti Go Back to School
Arti Kumari is a class 10th student from Sitamarhi district of Bihar. Before the pandemic, Arti was leading an everyday life attending school regularly with her friends and doing good in her class. When COVID-19 started spreading in March 2020, her education came to a halt as the school had to be closed.
Like numerous other children, she was confined to her home, unable to continue her studies, play with friends or interact with teachers. It was a difficult time for Arti. She was equally disturbed to see the inward migration of people of her community from far-flung areas as they lost their livelihood, and accessing basic necessities became challenging. All this made Arti’s anxiety grow. She was in class 10th and without any books or study material, she had no means to study.Arti’s family lacked the means to provide her with devices and Internet needed for online education. Gradually she began drifting away from education and got engaged in household chores. She lived in the fear that she would have to drop out of school eventually. While fully understanding her daughter’s situation, her mother expressed her helplessness as the family had to prioritize food over education. She said, “Our family is big. When managing two square meals a day is a challenge, how can we afford a smartphone”.
It was during this critical juncture in Arti’s life, that Bal Raksha Bharat stepped in to support children like Arti in their learning continuity during the pandemic. Bal Raksha Bharat’s field team approached children in Arti’s village to form a Children’s Group. They also informed the children about the nearby resource centre, its features, and how it supports children in continuing their learning in the absence of access to any digital platform.
Like Arti, many children in our country struggle to access quality education. And the COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation worse for them and a lot of children, especially girls, are at the risk of dropping out of school. Your small contribution can help a child escape from the bonds of poverty through your donation online. With a reasonable monthly or yearly contribution, you can gift life-changing benefits to an underprivileged child. Your donation online will ensure that the child receives an education, healthcare as well as nutritional support.
