Activities, thus opening doors for bringing awareness on Health and Hygiene, Medical Camps, Free Tuition for Drop Out girls on continuing Education to completion, making of sanitary pads for those women who are illiterate and have very low IQ level, learning to drive the E-Rickshaw.
Most of our beneficiaries are transferred from Nari Niketan or short stay home, or brought by the Delhi Police or by the Order of the Hon’ble district courts. Most of whom are slow learners and with low IQ, without educational qualifications and identity, hence is it a challenging task to rehabilitate such women.
A proposal was submitted to CEO, Mr. Ajay Jain – Guardian India who showed keen interest to go ahead on this unique project of teaching women to drive at Rahab. An e-rickshaw was donated by GUARDIAN INDIA LTD., the benefits of being pollution free, low maintenance, easy to drive and above all would bring confidence and enhance self –esteem in these women.
A unique project has been started by Rahab and we have opened a Free Tuition Centre to give an opportunity for Drop Out girls and assist them in continuing their Education right upto completion of High School and further Higher Education, called DEESHA SHIKSHA KENDRA (which means Giving Direction in Education).
Our goal is to teach the girl child who are deprived of education, drop outs from school due to various reasons, and ensure they build up their moral, character and personality development along with education, and empower them so that they improve their level of education, build self confidence and mobilise for higher education and reduce the drop outs of girl child. At present 50 girls are enrolled in the program.
