TOGETHER WE STAND, LETS FIGHT THIS PANDEMIC TOGETHER.
*With Schools Shut, Not Everyone Can Go Online*
Closure of schools may protect the school children from Covid-19 but the impact on them is going to be detrimental. Children are losing out on their daily interactions with their schoolmates and teachers, and it will be long before they go back to school.
Learning is certainly going to be disrupted, more so for children whose parents are not literate, or who do not have access to internet-based learning. There is no certainty as to when schools will resume; a prolonged gap is going to affect children’s interest and ability to go back to learning.
Loss of livelihood is going to leave a *deep impact* on children, there will be less to eat, more children will drop out of schools and there will be many more children who will go to work. Some children have already started working with their parents on farms, non-farm activities, some are found assisting in small grocery shops or selling vegetables in the local markets. With the help of local volunteers, ngos/ self-help groups we are supporting these daily wage laborers and their families by distributing grocery items.
Light de Literacy has been started to provide quality education to underprivileged children.
We have been working for children living in slums since 2012 and have started working under the name “LIGHT DE LITERACY” since September 27 th , 2014. ‘Light de Literacy’ means “साक्षरता का प्रकाश ” and the tag line “एक आशा नवनिर्माण की” clearly shows our vision for the future guided by the motto Educate * Empower * Enlighten.
