Dankaur is a place surrounded by brick kilns where migrants come from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal to work on brick kilns and earn a living. Their children at brick kilns find it hard to access education and all other services due to remote location of brick kilns. Also since both parents come for work, in absence of any care giver, either they play in mud, take care of their younger siblings or help parents in brick fields to earn a decent living by achieving the daily targets set by contractors. Such children also start working at very young age to maximize the family income. AWSAR has been running such centres and sees an urgent need to address the issues of children neglected from their rights.
AWSAR has been working in over 15 schools of Dadri and Dankaur blocks of GautamBudh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. AWSAR has been instrumental in improving the physical infrastructure in the schools including construction and repairing of sanitation infrastructure. AWSAR with support of donor organisation has also created digital infrastructure in these schools. Our field workers also train the teachers and also conduct the digital classes to improve the quality of education in schools including improving the functioning of School Management Committee.
Awsar works for quality education through workshops and training sessions with children. It has been providing direct services in two areas - early childhood education and after school support along with working on capacity building of teachers and parents and improving the infrastructure.
