In
this period of unprecedented economic prosperity, a section of Indian
population remains to be living in abject poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, and
above all, under the thralldom of the landlords and the people who can control
their lives from birth to death. Their
historic forceful deprivation of all necessities of good life handicapped them
in all spheres of life. In this knowledge centric age, education plays a major
part in individual’s progress. The deprival of this basic human right is the
root cause of their sufferings.
In
India, as any developed country, education is of two types, public and private.
Ignorance of common people, coupled with negligence of political leaders;
public education became the causality. When India can produce world-class
professionals through its elite IITs/IIMs, it is also a breeding ground for
children who can’t read or write even after spending 10 years in school.
Primary education, the base of educational foundation is the most neglected in
India and the victims are the Dalits and other marginalized societies who do
not have means to study in private and elite schools. So, these communities
live in economic deprivation when the country is experiencing 8-9% economic
growth.
It
is not an exaggeration to say that given an opportunity and right kind of
education, these children can fare as good as any other kind with prosperous
background. So, with an intention to give these children a better education,
FFEI identified a few schools that can impart quality education to Dalit
children with confessional fees. It costs around Rs.5,000 – Rs.15,000 ($125 -
$375) a year to send a child to a good school.
This
is how our system works:
So,
we are looking for individuals/organizations who share our vision to help one
or more children from socially, economically, and educationally backward
families to attend a good school and to transform their lives.
