Working children
13 year old Nandini, seen in the picture above, never went to school. She works as a weaver to supplement her family's income. Thanks to local project partner Society for Human Education (SHE) Nandini attends non formal education classes for out-of-school children. Non formal education provides working children the opportunity to study at a convenient place, pace and time. Nandini is studying for her 10th standard diploma.
Project Partner Koinonia helps flood victims return to school
With the support of Terre des Hommes Netherlands, Koinonia provided exercise books, drawing copies, graph copies, pens, pencils with box, box of instruments, erasers, colour pencils, drink bottles, foot rulers, pencil sharpeners, along with school bags to 2500 children who lost everything due to the floods. With these donations they were able to return back to school.
Additionally, six early learning centres, which were heavily damaged during the floods, were repaired.
Koinonia focuses on psychosocial care for war affected children in and around Batticaloa. The organisation is a partner of Terre des Hommes since 1995.
