Manidham sees education in a different perspective to make women be educated

Hi Folks,

Last week, I visited Manidham Charitable trust. We are already supporting the centre with one of our “deploying teacher” project. They are providing education for the students in the slum areas near by Dindigul.

What are they going to do?

Now they are going to extend their support to Muslim women in and around Dindigul. As they believe, mothers only are teaching the children, and so, they need to be educated first. According to a survey by Rajendra Sachchar committee, in 2001, women literacy rate was 67% in India. But, muslim women literacy rate was only 51%.

What are their plans?

To achieve their vision, they are going to start tuition centres for women, in the slum villages in Dindigul. For this they selected 20 villages and are going to work with like-minded ppl and orgs. They are going to tell how importance is child education, how to read, wirte using simple stories, etc.

Expenses:

They need Rs. 750 p.m, as a salary for a teacher, for one village. So, it will come about 15K per month for 20 villages.

What can we do?:

I directly interacted with some women in a slum area. The area itself was too bad, as they don’t have enough drainage, etc. And, when talking to them, they gave me assurity that if someone takes care of their children’s education, they are ready to send them to school/college. (Now, few of them are going to work). So, we can definitely support few villages, as their(Manidham) views are good and are showing real interest. The slum women also gave good opinion about Nisha & her work.

Apart from this, they need few computers too. They must have started their summer classes as of now and they feel it would be better, if they have at least 2 or 3 computers. (Currently there is only one)

If anyone is willing to support the education for women or donate computers, please send mail to admin@indiasudar.org
