Sky is not, and should not be the limit for children……
Bright Orange Foundation continuous work hard for mainstream to underprivileged children.
75 out of our 300 children have taken the first step of a journey towards endless opportunities as they got admitted to mainstream government schools.
For Bright Orange Foundation, this is the first milestone in realizing our vision of creating enabling conditions for our children.
But this is just the beginning
We have a lot of work to do for mainstream to underprivileged.
- Mainstreaming all our kids.
- Helping them with remedial classes.
- Providing them with infrastructural support.
- When we constantly remind our children to dream big, we are aware of our responsibilities of providing the supporting hand that enables them to realize their dreams.
- Total 800+ children joined mainstream Government schools.
- 80% of them are still continuing in the mainstream school
- Open School Examinations – As most of our children are migrants and 13- 14 is a good age to start earning, many of the children who want to study have to start working. Thanks to Government’s Open Schooling System, our children get a second chance by getting formal education certificate through open school examinations.
Last year, we had 18 such children and this year this number went up to 97.
Of course, there were challenges in mainstream
Children that we are talking about were either completely illiterate or had some basic literacy back in the village which is forgotten in the urban slum life, where running around with a tyre with other children is more interesting.
Making them school ready to get admission in age and knowledge appropriate classes was the beginning. Pursuance with school authorities, making documents ready for a migrant population, were other administrative challenges. Of course, these are nothing against the immense possibilities that have opened up for the children.
