Save Children in Baltistan through ECD
US$ 25,000.00	The proposed project focuses on villages in the Skardu District, where the children (particularly females) live in vulnerable conditions. The District is located in the Northern Areas, one of the Pakistani administered regions called -FANA. The region is one of the worlds most difficult to access, where most Villages are located at 14,000 feet above sea level. The majority of people live below the poverty line and the main economic activities are related to subsistence farming, livestock, and domestic work. Literacy rate is very low and females are kept at home away from education. There are many factors in the Skardu District that restrict proper child development. In this remote area, poverty and ignorance lead parents to involve their children in labour activities at an early age. Children age 4 and older are involved in activities such as cattle feeding, grazing, tending to crops, and begging on the streets. Due to socioeconomic conditions and lack of information, parents do not recognize the importance of early years in children's development. Consequently, children are raised without the proper stimulation and care that they need to develop into thriving adults. The goals of the GRACE Association Early Childhood Care and Development Program are to increase the awareness of the importance of proper child development, reduce corporal punishment in homes and schools, and give girls full access to education programs and develop an environment for children to be raised with proper stimulation and care that they need to develop into prosperous adults. Details will provide on contact.
Support Inclusive Education
US $10,000.00	Grace Association is enrolling children with disabilities in Grace Public School Skardu. The NPO is trying to make the school environment friendly for inclusive education. It is estimated that more than 90% of children with disabilities in the project area do not attend school due to the lack of awareness and accessorily other barriers like training needs, appliances, financial constrains etc. Through this project we will run a sensitization campaign for inclusive education (using all possible AVAIDS) for school teachers in males and females schools of 20 target villages. Literature regarding awareness will also be developed and disseminated for attitude change towards disability at community level. Model inclusive education schools will develop at union council level and the school community will mobilize for this cause. More details will provide on contact.
Support Educate Girls
US $1,000.00	Gender biases, discrimination, and corporal punishment are a culture at home as well as in the schools. Parents often send their sons to quality schools but mostly girls are kept at home away from education due to poverty and ignorance. Moreover Children are corporally punished for mistakes and threatened by parents as well as school teachers. The education of girls is a low priority, and they are rarely sent to school. Many parents are against coeducation, even in the early years, and girls remain illiterate because they have no schooling opportunities or facilities. Female children as most affected and vulnerable usually work with their parents in the fields 6 to 8 hours a day. The goal of this program is to educate female children in the remotest areas where girl children are neglected. More details will provide on contact.
