Key Information
The pandemic poses a serious threat of reversing all the progress made on the education of the most vulnerable children, especially girls over the last decade. To address this and ensure children stay connected with education with their safety in mind, Educate Girls has initiated a community-based learning program that focuses on Hindi and Math skills through activity-based sessions called Camp Vidya (Camp of Knowledge). Camp Vidya’s learning framework is spread across 16 sessions for 4 weeks and is aligned with the mobile-learning content built up by the state governments. It aims to improve socio-emotional skills and to keep children motivated through the pandemic. A total of 13,388 camps across 11,165 villages of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have been conducted, engaging 250k children.
