Strengthen Education, Health and Livelihood (SEHL):

The project was planned to implement in eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. Eastern UP is the poorest, feudalistic and cast- ridden region of state – on of the poorest states in India. The two blocks where we planned to work in Varanasi as whole majority of children in SC communities are out of school( with girls disproportionately affected), & in rural areas school attendance is  much lower. In UP teacher/student ratios are at planned to work for children’s working time in to school time & we plan to address the child labour issue with educational activities. In most of the cases the children are enrolled in school but they are out of school in realty. They are on work or spending time in household activities due to non-awakening of the parents and poverty as well. Therefore MSEMVS planned to run the Support centres in 4 villages and make vigilance on Govt. school with active participation of the community and victims.
