Little Stars School. Shanti Niketan Gurukul (Safe Home For Needy Girls - Unit of Rishi Pragatisheel Shikshan Sansthan)

Over the years, children have had access to quality education, at least a meal a day, and over 65 girls have lived and grown in the shelter home. Even when there are holidays, many children still come to the school to feel safe instead of wandering in the streets. Raising awarness about the importance of school attendance We keep attendance records and check them every week. If it is less than 75% we contact the parent, which usually involves a home visit. Girls We give extra care and attention to making sure girl students are succeeding. Our motto is: “When you educate a girl, you educate a family” After graduation After graduation from grade 10 and 12 students are encouraged to go on for higher education or vocational training, and we support as many of them as possible financially through sponsorships. For exemple, some students go to paramedical training, nursing, teaching, or law. Vocational training Students who are not academically inclined or who must contribute financially to their families are currently provided additional vocational training in: 1) Beautician courses 2)Typing 3) Computer and Communication Technology
