PROJECT SUMMARY
The Self Employed Women’s Assocation (SEWA), Citizen Effect's field partner in India, started the Hamare Bachche (“Our Children”) Program aimed at rehabilitating children who lost one or both parents in the riots and placing them back in school to finish their education. Children between the ages of 3-18 years are enrolled in Nursery, Primary and Secondary Schools. Many had become orphans and many were traumatized by the brutality of the 2002 Gujarat riots after witnessing their parents being burnt alive by mobs. Ed has partnered with the Hamare Bachche families in Mehsana district to support the education of 11 child victims of the riots. In addition to sponsoring their tuition and school fees, the project will also provide the necessary books, stationery, school bags, uniform, and other supplies for each student. Each child and family will also receive continuous monitoring by the SEWA program teams to ensure that the children regularly go to school, and regular meetings will be conducted with the teachers and principals to assess the progress of the children.
