Name: Children Behind Us
Categories: Education
Description:
Illiteracy is a common and pressing issue among urban slum dwellers all across the world. Children living in these areas are removed from mainstream society and do not enjoy the education that their urban city counterparts do due to poverty. Through Project Children Behind Us, we seek to bring education to these children between 9-12 years of age at no cost at all. The pilot project will be implemented over a course of 6 months in Bintaro, Jakarta in Indonesia.We have a team of qualified volunteers who will set out to educate the children by going to the urban slum areas. Our goal is to provide them with basic literacy and numeracy skills such as reading, writing and counting which will enable them to find a place in society and lift themselves out of poverty. We believe that education is the key to ending poverty. We go by the motto Initiate, Inspire, Involve. We initiate change in society by inspiring others to get involved in uplifting the life of urban slum dwellers. We lead by example. Who is involved so far? Our current funder, Microsoft, everyone on TIG, the children in Bintaro, Jakarta, and the active team of volunteers!rnWho do we want involved? Our local governments, the media, students, teachers, and you! Anyone can be part of this project. Together, we can make a difference!
