After a challenging few years during the COVID-19 pandemic and following the devastating news last year that the project area will be flooded during the construction of a planned dam, we were happy to see the return of routine for partner teams and the community. The Project Diganth team have been dedicated to ensuring secondary school students receive a quality education. They have worked hard to support students to be in school, access quality learning, and to reduce the impact of previous disrupted school years. Achieving the best academic results yet this year is testament to the hard work of the Project Diganth facilitators and Programme Manager, supported by Jatan Sansthan and Kshamtalaya. The community health team have continued to support pregnant women and parents of children up to the age of five to access formal healthcare, promoting better antenatal and postnatal outcomes for women and healthier young children. They have also helped to organise regular mobile clinic visits. The trusted team, supported by Rajasthan Bal Kalyan Samiti, continued to have a positive impact this year. In September, we bid a fond farewell to Iona-Jane Harris, who was Director at Educate for Life for over seven years. We are extremely grateful to Iona-Jane for her dedication, passion, and leadership over the years, helping to shape the organisation into what it is today and contributing to the positive outcomes felt by those living in the project area. None of the achievements of Educate for Life and our partners would be possible without the ongoing commitment and generosity of all of our supporters and donors. Thank you for all you do for Educate for Life and the communities that we support. In gratitude, 3 ## **Our Mission & Vision** Educate for Life is a UK registered charity. Our aim is to support community-led, long-term socioeconomic transformation of indigenous Adivasi communities in Southern Rajasthan. We have two main areas of work: - 1) strengthening the provision of education to improve life skills for children and young people 2) providing community health programmes to support healthy pregnancies and childhoods. Educate for Life works in partnership with local organisations in rural India to achieve this. **A Rural India of Happy and Healthy Children and Young People** 4 **KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2022/23** ## **JULY 2022** 15 new pregnant women joined the **Safe Motherhood Programme** , receiving formal antenatal care to support healthy pregnancy. ## **SEPTEMBER 2022** Project Diganth facilitators took part in Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning **capacity building** sessions. ## **NOVEMBER 2022** **Community meetings** took place between parents and Diganth team members to discuss how best to **support students** during exams. ## **JANUARY 2023** The **mobile clinic** visited **four locations** in the community, providing appointments to **146 individuals,** including **84 children.** ## **MARCH 2023** ## **AUGUST 2022** Students at Jhed Secondary School engaged in **cultural activities** to celebrate **Independence Day.** ## **OCTOBER 2022** The **mobile clinic** provided healthcare to **98 individuals** in four locations **,** of which **over half** were women and girls. ## **DECEMBER 2022** The health team supported **12 births** , with all babies born a **healthy weight** and all mothers having received **full antenatal care** . ## **FEBRUARY 2023** Students **visited** a government Industrial Training Insitutue where they learnt about **vocational trades** as career options. **Farewell celebrations** were held for **graduating students** before final board exams began. 5 ## **Community Health Outreach Work** Our community health team is committed to ensuring that Bakhel community members can access professional healthcare and support. The Safe Motherhood Programme supports women through pregnancy, helping them to access formal healthcare for antenatal checks, vaccines, and supplements, as well as providing advice and monitoring women's health through additional home visits to promote healthy pregnancies and delivery. This year, over one hundred women benefited from this support, and the programme continues to have excellent outcomes for the women and babies. After delivery, the health team support the mothers and their children through the Safe Childhood Programme. The team monitor the child's development from birth through to age five, ensuring children receive appropriate vaccinations, identifying any concerns with growth, and providing advice to parents on age-appropriate care. This year, over four hundred children were enrolled in the programme. The mobile clinic service provides high quality, affordable healthcare in remote villages. Any patients with more serious illness are then referred to a primary healthcare centre or hospital. This year, the mobile clinic visited 12 times, with a total of 978 patients seen by a qualified doctor. **"I had cough problem for a long time...and even after so many treatments, my cough did not get better and other people in my house also got cough problem. Finally, I visited the mobile clinic. After that, with the help of this clinic medicine, the problem of cough was cured for me and my family members. Now whenever we have any health problems, we come to the mobile clinic. The best thing is that for just 10 rupees, treatment is available near the house."** _**- Community member who attended an appointment at the mobile clinic**_ 6 **"I have joined this program for the first time...In this program I got vaccinated, went for check-up and also took iron pills which helped in my pregnancy and delivery.

This year over 300 students benefitted from the programme work, including 90 girls. Seven facilitators worked across the two schools providing additional support to students by teaching classes and providing tailored individual support; building the capacities of teachers by sharing best practice; and promoting quality, holistic learning within the communities by working with parents and education officials. For families of students, low household income can be a barrier to purchasing education supplies, which means students are unable to learn effectively or to even attend school. The Diganth team distributed learning resources to students, including stationery, geometry sets, and printed materials. Alongside academic activities, students also participated in extra-curricular activities to promote holistic development. Students took part in sports tournaments, with teams going through to block and district level to compete. IT lessons provided students with digital skills, an exciting new addition to the timetable for students. A priority area for this year was to introduce career awareness sessions to show students the options for further education or a career once they graduate secondary school. Professionals from different sectors came in to discuss their job and the qualifications or pathway into their role. Students also visited an Industrial Training Institute (ITI), where they gained an understanding of the vocational training courses on offer. An important element of Project Diganth is to engage all stakeholders in the school. Parents' encouragement of their children is key to academic success. The team held regular meetings in the community with parents to share information on their children's progress and promote the importance of education. This year, a Quality Improvement Group was established for Project Diganth. This quarterly meeting brings together key stakeholders including Diganth team members, school leadership, teachers, parents, students, and leadership from Educate for Life, Kshamtalaya and Jatan Sansthan. The group covered important topics including learning outcomes and attendance. **“I feel safe and happy in your class, I like to attend your Mathematics class.”** _**11th Class student, Jhed School**_ 9 **"You teach Political Science that matches our pace, and we are able to concentrate better, then we understand well.”** _**- Class 12 Student, Jhed School.**_ **“Thanks to the facilitators of Diganth Team, various programs are conducted now for students to participate and explore, which was not there earlier.

A year later, the timeframe for the construction work to begin remains uncertain, 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 and will continue to fund health and secondary education programmes. From the end of this year, we will no longer be working with Rajasthan Bal Kalyan Samiti (RBKS), after a long and valued partnership. We are extremely grateful to RBKS and the team members that we have worked with for their commitment to supporting under-served communities in southern Rajasthan. This partnership has been instrumental to the positive impacts that the programmes have had in the community. We will continue the Safe Motherhood and Safe Childhood Programmes, which will be managed by Jatan Sansthan, alongside continuing to run the secondary school programme. The mobile clinic will be run in direct partnership with Global Hospital and Research Centre. Our projects continue to make a positive inter-generational impact in support of the community. 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. Heartfelt thanks for continuing to support us along this journey. ## **If you have any questions or would like to make a donation please contact: ash@educateforlife.org.uk** ## **Educate for Life** **www.educateforlife.org.uk** 13 Rustat Rd, **England & Wales registered charity 1114271 since 2005** Cambridge, CB1 3QR 16 EDUCATE FOR LIFE FINANaAL STATEMENTS 9 MofrifH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Charlty Number 1114271 EDUCATE FOR LIFE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 9 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 CONTENT5 PAGE Tru5tees' annual report Statement of financi313ctivities Balance Sheet Notes to the financial statements io EDUCATE FOR LIFE TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT 9 MopifH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Re ort of the trustees for the 9 month eriod ended 31 March 2023 The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the 9 month period ended 31 March 2023.
