Bhelu village in Raigad, Maharashtra, is just 10 kms away from SREC English Medium School. However, Anu, Vinu, Tanu and other children from Bhelu are deprived of education due to the absence of a school bus.
Despite the parent’s ambition of sending their children to an English medium school, the distance of 10 kilometres is a big deterrent as it is physically taxing for the little souls. The parents hence have no choice, but to compromise on their education and future.
By government regulations, the last date of admitting these children is August 1, 2016. Hence it is of utmost importance that we raise the money i.e 18.5 Lacs INR by July 25, 2016. One bus will enable children of 10 villages (around 120 children) to get an education in an English medium school that will not only secure their future, but also that of their family and their villages.
SREC: Small beginnings
SREC began with teaching sessions for a handful children in a temporary shed under a tree. The success of the school's holistic education spread and more and more Adivasi and poor families sought an English medium Education for the future of their children. Today the school has 700 students from 55 villages of the Raigad district.
SREC takes care of all educational expenses of students including uniforms, books, educational kits, meals as well as transportation.
