Care for Children
IndiaChildren/Education
Schools under the Care for Children program fall into three categories: rural, tribal and slum schools. Rural schools are established in villages close to a major city. They typically have some kind of road access and electricity. Tribal schools are established in remote areas where neither roads nor electricity exist. In some cases these tribal schools are 30km away from main roads and the only access is through country roads. Slum schools are established in urban areas. The rural and slum schools follow a more conventional education program, while in the tribal schools the emphasis is more on providing a basic education platform with development of entrepreneurial and vocational skills that these children can build upon if they choose to.
