BACKGROUND

This project proposes to enhance the basic education of children and illiterate Adults in the following villages (Neerati, Surandi, Keelkuravankandi, Eluththukal Pudur, Melkuranvankandi, Gundoor, Koodapatty, Sundapatty, Veppamaraththur) and will serve approximately 2500 families in Aththikadavu, Coimbatore district.

Basic education for the children and illiterate Adults is the backbone of the community therefore it is viewed as a human right since education contributes to the reduction of both absolute and relative poverty. Basic education, in particular, helps to alleviate poverty by helping poor people improve their lives. Mothers with some education raise healthier families.

Children and youth with basic skills and knowledge can read and handle numbers, which gives them access to information and thinking processes that give them more choices about how to behave in their families and then in the community. Adults can make more informed decisions about political and social events that affect the quality of their lives.

In Aththikadavu and surrounding areas accounts teaching aids and basic equipment available for educational tasks are minimal, even though parents and teachers alike agree that more adequate and creative teaching methods are needed in school to stimulate learning incentives therefore this project will contribute towards the development of education in these areas.
