## ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

Educate for Life would like to express profound appreciation to our partner organisations in Rajasthan, India. The impact that Educate for Life has would not be possible without the expertise, passion, commitment and hard work of the incredible individuals working in the schools, community, and offices of our partner organisations. 

We would also like to acknowledge the children and families who are at the centre of everything that we do and thank them for putting their trust in us and our programmes. It is an immense privilege to be able to work in this community, for which we are very grateful. 

Thank you to all of our donors who provide the funds essential to continuing to run the education and health programmes that are making a positive difference to the lives of so many living in the area in which we work. Educate for Life is grateful to the generosity and kindness of our supporters who continue to donate and put their trust in Educate for Life and our partners in Southern Rajasthan.

## **Our Mission & Vision**

Educate for Life works in partnership with local organisations in rural India to achieve this.

## **Community Health Outreach Work**

Throughout the year, there were **147 livebirths** . Of these, 76% took place with a skilled attendant and **87% received full antenatal care** , including vaccinations, supplements, and home and health centre visits. These positive outcomes show **consistency in the impact** of this well-established programme. 

Through the **Safe Childhood Programme, 508 children** under the age of five and their families were supported through healthy infancy. The team regularly visit the children in their homes to track their **development** and provide advice on **age-appropriate care.** For any identified concerns, children are referred to the **health centre** for professional advice. The health team also ensures that all children receive their **recommended vaccinations.** 

The **mobile clinic** visits the community to provide **affordable, accessible healthcare** in more remote communities. The doctor present **prescribes medication** for regular ailments or **refers patients** to a health centre for more serious conditions, encouraging formal health-seeking behaviours.

During their first pregnancy, one woman had complications and struggled with her health. For her second pregnancy, she enrolled in the Safe Motherhood Programme.

## **Improving Secondary Education** 

The secondary health programme, **Project Diganth,** supports two under-performing secondary schools in the project area. A team of Facilitators work with students, teachers, parents, education officials, and other organisations to improve the outcomes for the young people, in terms of **academic results** , **life-skills** , and understanding of **career options** . 

Facilitators support students in the classroom, providing **subject teaching** alongside a strong focus on improving foundational literacy and numeracy skills to give students a strong basic understanding from which to build and **improve their exam results** , as well as better equip students for **life after school.** This year, partners trialed a new, comprehensive test to better **map students’ levels** in foundational learning and understand which areas are weaker to provide tailored support. 

A focus of this year has been community engagement; improving the links between the school, parents, and others living in the area. Regular **home visits** take place for students with low or irregular attendance to understand the barriers to coming to school more often. Events take place on holidays and public **celebrations to invite family members** to engage with the school and their children’s education. **Parent-teacher meetings** allow discussions and updates on students’ progress and sharing of ideas for school improvement. In addition, WhatsApp groups have been created with **parents living close to one another** to encourage attendance and link up students with different levels of attendance. 

A key outcome of the project is to give students more **opportunities after secondary school** to continue their education, understand what career options are available, and make informed choices. Older students **visited nearby vocational colleges** and took part in sessions to support thinking about their next steps after graduation. A handful of students were able to travel to Ahmedabad, the capital of Gujarat state, to **sit entrance exams** for a prestigious university. Unfortunately none were successful in securing a place, but the **experience of travelling** and participating in the process were valuable. In the coming year, career guidance will continue to be a focus, looking at the **range of opportunities** available.

We invest in our key implementation partners. We work with other expert organisations in India to develop project team members' skills and knowledge. 

## **JATAN SANSTHAN** 

Jatan Sansthan is an Indian not-for-profit organisation working with rural and resource poor communities in Rajasthan. They develop and implement initiatives to support children, young people and women in the areas of health and education. Our secondary school programme (Project Diganth) is run in partnership with Jatan Sansthan.

## **The Next Chapter** 

In 2022, plans for a dam to be built in the project area came to light. This dam will sadly submerge the whole project area in which Educate for Life works, meaning the whole community will have to move. The exact plans and timeline for this devastating project remain unclear, although it has now become more certain that it will happen. 

Educate for Life is working closely with partners to monitor the situation and begin to think about what will happen to the projects that we support once the dam is constructed. There is not yet a clear plan, but discussions and options are being discussed and will be confirmed as more information surrounding the project are known. 

Until displacement begins, Educate for Life is committed to continuing to support the community through the secondary education and community health programmes. We will continue to work with secondary students, teachers, and their families to equip young people with the life skills, academic results, and knowledge to build resilience for their lives post-displacement. Pregnant women and new mothers will be given advice and support for healthy pregnancies and early childhood, providing knowledge and behaviours that will continue to benefit families once they are moved. 

We remain flexible and are ready to adapt to the needs of the community as plans become clearer. Alongside partners, we are working to understand the community’s needs and plans, including where they plan to move and why. We are looking into ways we can better support the community to prepare for displacement and to give them the best chance of future success.

Financial review
Incoming resources in the year to 31 March 2024 were £40,717 (2023: £50,317 for 9 months), Expenditure on
charitable activities was £36,471 (2023: £39,808 for 9 months). Reserves at the end of the period were £80,531.
Since income can be volatile, the charity aims to keep a general reserve representing approximately six months of
anticipated expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a
significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity's activities, whilst consideration is given to ways
in which additional funds may be raised. The trustees review the policy and progress towards meeting the target
level of reserves annually. Of the reserves at 31 March 2024, £35,000 15 towards the general reserve. This represents
approximately 6 months of anticipated expenditure in line with our reserves policy.
In addltlon, we expect to hold a certaln amount of funds In order to build funds for designated future purposes.
