ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

It has been wonderful to welcome children back to their classrooms this year after the disruption of the pandemic. Our local partners, Rajasthan Bal Kalyan Samiti (RBKS) and Kshamtalaya, have been tireless in their efforts to ensure that children and young people in our project areas access education and learning opportunities. Individual team members have gone above and beyond our expectations to encourage and inspire children to return to school.

The RBKS community health team and our partners, Global Hospital and Research Centre and Geetanjali Hospital, have been equally dedicated. Hundreds of community members have received professional healthcare over the year and pregnant women and new mothers have benefitted from regular personal contact with health team members.

Thank you to all our kind and generous supporters who have donated and raised funds for our programme work. This report shares the difference your gifts have made.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey this year.

In gratitude

Providing Primary Education

Hunar Ghar School was first established in 2007, in partnership with Rajasthan Bal Kalyan Samiti (RBKS). The school provides children growing up in the remote rural community of Bakhel with access to holistic primary education. Most students are the first in their families to attend school.

Hunar Ghar School remained closed, in line with government restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, until September 2021. While the school was closed, the Hunar Ghar team successfully kept in touch with nearly all students and supported them according to their needs. Community-based learning provision, including storytelling sessions, and regular home visits helped children maintain links with school staff and remain engaged with learning.

All classes were welcomed back for classroom-based learning in September. The teaching team has worked hard to provide a fun and supportive learning environment. The children have enjoyed opportunities to take part in lots of different activities including art and crafts workshops, drama classes and sports activities. These have helped the children to settle back into school life and peerto-peer learning.

The children were particularly pleased when the school kitchen was also able to reopen. Breakfast and lunch have been prepared and served at school again and this has had a positive impact on regular school attendance.

"I enjoy studying in school...At the time of lockdown...the atmosphere of study found in school was not available at home...I used to miss school a lot. But now I am enjoying coming back to school." Hunar Ghar Student

“After the school reopened, I was so happy to meet my friends and talk to teachers. But along with that food is also necessary to study well. I felt hungry after three periods...After hot meals started again, I feel so happy in school. I am even getting different food for a whole week.” Hunar Ghar Student

8

"I like to come to school and play with friends. If there is any problem in what is taught by the teachers, apart from the teacher, I like to learn from my classmates and discuss with them. Every day we get to learn about new points. I like library class, I like to read books of new stories in the library. During the lockdown, I could not study at home because I had to help my mother with the housework, and when I could not understand any point while studying, there was no one to help at home. But now the fun of coming back to school and studying is different, I feel very happy to come back to school." Hunar Ghar Student

Community Health Outreach Work

Our community health team is committed to ensuring that Bakhel community members can access professional healthcare and support. Following their experience in the first wave of the pandemic, the team adapted to continue to support and improve the health of Bakhel residents during the surge in Covid-19 cases in 2021.

The team answered questions from community members about Covid-19 and the vaccine when it became available. They were able to provide individuals with factual information and helped ensure community members made informed decisions when they were offered opportunities to be vaccinated. Multiple vaccine camps have now taken place, with team members and older students getting vaccinated alongside community members.

The mobile clinic service resumed its monthly visits in July 2021. This local availability of high quality healthcare was vital as many community members were still hesitant to attend Primary Healthcare Centres due to ongoing concerns about Covid-19.

The community health team have continued to support pregnant women and new mothers, following agreed safety protocols for themselves and the women they are in contact with. Over 100 pregnant women were supported to access formal healthcare for antenatal checks and delivery and provided with postnatal support and guidance.

"This is my second delivery, I never went to the hospital in the first delivery...This time due to vaccination, medicines (supplements) and pregnancy check ups, my health was good, as well as due to the food packets given, my weight was also maintained good and my baby was born healthy." Mother supported by the Safe Motherhood Programme

"The hospital is far away, so we are not able to go there at the time of illness due to weakness and lack of transportation, but now after coming to the mobile clinic, we are getting good medical facilities at village level." Community Member

Hunar Ghar Graduates

After two years of compulsory board exams being cancelled due to COVID-19, and final year students automatically being eligible to progress to secondary school, exams in all subjects were held again in April 2022. We are delighted that all students who sat the exams passed. This means they can continue their studies at secondary level, improving their future employment prospects. The passes are a tribute to the hard work and commitment of the school team and the students, despite the disruption to learning caused by the pandemic.

27 students have graduated from Hunar Ghar at the close of this year. We expect most to enrol in nearby local secondary schools, but some may be offered scholarships in RBKS residential schools further afield.

This brings the total number of past Hunar Ghar students studying in secondary, vocational and tertiary education to 115, with a few students benefitting from Educate for Life scholarships to complete tertiary studies.

These young people are incredible role models, providing inspiration and motivation to other students to work hard and achieve their ambitions.

" I want to do BEd after completing college and become a teacher. It is only on the basis of Hunar Ghar's support that I have been able to complete my school education...there was no one in my family to support me." Hunar Ghar Graduate

Improving Secondary Education

We have been working with Kshamtalaya for four years to improve attendance and outcomes at two government secondary schools in the vicinity of Hunar Ghar, with an increasing number of students supported each year.

This year over 300 students benefitted from the programme work, including X girls. Whilst secondary schools remained close due to Covid-19 in July and August, Kshamtalaya team members worked closely with teaching staff at Mandwa and Jhed Schools, to support students to learn remotely. A mixture of home visits, community classes, phone calls, video calls and Zoom lessons took place. Community based learning circles were formed for outdoor group learning. During this period, three quarters of all enrolled students were reached and engaged with learning activities.

Students were able to return to school in September 2021. They have enjoyed being back in their classrooms, with Mandwa School having undergone significant redecoration and renovation thanks to government investment.

The Kshamtalaya facilitators have been helping to close learning gaps that developed during the Covid-19 pandemic by providing specialist help with the four core subjects of Mathematics, Language, Social Studies and Science.

After settling back into school, the students had the opportunity to showcase their learning to their parents and community members at Education Fairs. These events have helped to develop students' confidence and presentation skills.

We are delighted that the educational transformation that Kshamtalaya is bringing about in these schools is gaining recognition. Mandwa School was one of 100 schools invited to share how it is achieving change as part of World Education Week 2021.

“The facilitators were crucial in keeping the learning going while schools were closed, they have done an amazing job.” Mandwa School Teacher

15

“We like participating in activities in classroom learning, it engages us more, we want more.” Mandwa Secondary School Student

“You provided education material for the examination which helped a lot for me and my friends.” Mandwa Secondary School Student

“Facilitators are nice and always help us when ever we ask for it, we are grateful.” Jhed Secondary School Student

16

"We got so much support from Kshamtalaya and we got chance to see, touch and learn computer for the first time, so thank you for this." Jhed Secondary School Student

"I get learn about computer in our school, and I never dreamed of it. I get to learn everything...Thank you!” Jhed Secondary School Student

The Next Chapter

We have been devastated to find out this year that the area where our projects are situated is going to be submerged as a consequence of a new government dam project. The timeframe for the construction work to begin is not certain, but we expect the submersion of the area to happen within the next three to five years. Thousands of families will be displaced and are now contending with much future uncertainty.

We remain committed to the communities we have served for so many years. We have carried out a comprehensive household survey to enable us to have a clear understanding of the needs of all community members. The results will inform the support we continue to provide and will also support planning for the movement and migration of households when this becomes necessary.

We will continue to fund health and education programmes but the scope of our programme work is changing. Most significantly, we are no longer funding educational provision at Hunar Ghar School. This has been a difficult decision. After a careful review of our projects and partnerships, we have concluded that we are unable to remotely quality assure the educational experiences being provided at Hunar Ghar. Our local partner RBKS, who has been running the school on a day-to-day basis since 2018, will keep the school open and continue to welcome primary learners and to provide a range of holistic experiences. We are proud to have supported over 900 children to attend Hunar Ghar since it first opened in 2007. A separate overview of the impact of Hunar Ghar School can be found on our website.

We will continue our community health programme work and our support of improving local secondary schools. This will ensure that community members access reliable healthcare and help young people to gain skills and qualifications that will enable them to support themselves and their families into the future. However, as the scope of our programme work is reducing, and we are keen to transfer as much of our funding as possible to our local partners, we have decided to transition back to becoming a volunteer-led organisation. We will no longer have a small part-time staff team and instead our trustees will lead and manage Educate for Life on a voluntary basis.

The past fifteen years have been an incredible journey for us as an organisation. We believe we have made a big inter-generational impact through our projects. All we have done has only been possible thanks to everyone who has been part of our story and who has believed in our work.
