FORRAD supports grassroots organizations working in sustainable agriculture, natural resources, health care and girls' education.
The Girls’ School in Kaliyachak in the Nalanda distict of Bihar now has a total of eighty-one students (from nine different villages), six teachers and one administrative assistant. It has students from classes I to V and will add a class each year until the school enrolls 350 girls in 12 classes.
All the students at the Kaliyachak school are from disadvantaged backgrounds, 15% being from very vulnerable communities (Scheduled Caste communities). An average day at the school begins at 7:30 am and ends at 11:30 am. The students arrive and start the day by cleaning their respective classrooms following which they say an all-inclusive prayer. The main subjects taught throughout the day are English, Mathematics, Hindi, Science, Social Studies and General Knowledge, primarily following the State prescribed curriculum.
The students play a variety of organised sports, such as cricket, football and volleyball, while also playing board games like ludo. Moreover, the extracurricular activities now also include computer studies and cycling.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
