What are we doing?
SDDF is involved in several humanitarian programs in different sectors e.g. Education, Health & Hygiene, Access to Justice, Environment, Water & Sanitation, Poverty Alleviation, Women Rights, Child Protection, Psycho-social Support, etc. Following are the brief outlines of our programs/projects:
* establishing and running non formal education schools
* capacity building and supervision of teachers
* monitoring of school activities
* provision of books and relevant material
* conducting tests and exams
* organizing co & extracurricular activities
* formation of village education committees
* formation of parent teacher associations
The students studying in the non formal schools are very vulnerable / poor. They cannot afford studying in paid schools. Some of them are over aged or dropped out from other schools. The non formal schools provide them with opportunities to continue their studies. The schools of the project are an additional educational service within the communities. These schools serve a very important role in gratifying the Government’s vision to increase the levels of literacy.
