Who we are
We are raising books for children living in three remote villages. With these books children will not only learn reading and writing in their native language but also use it to learn different life skills like critical thinking, problem solving, compassion, confidence, etc.
Our work and its impact
Insight Walk fellowship is a rural movement to ensure children of rural India lead a meaningful life and create a life of passion and purpose. We work with children of age group 6-14 years who are already outside the mainstream education living in the remote villages. Our fellows are mothers and elder girls from the village who spend their time with children in understanding them, mentoring them and teaching them life skills. Currently we are working with 3 villages in western Maharashtra.
How we will utilise these books
We identify the most vulnerable communities from rural areas and work directly with children of the age group 6-14 and their parents. Some of the factors we definitely take into consideration are: • Village with migrant and backward communities (Dalits, National Tribes, Adivasis, etc) • First generation learning communities • Villages with no direct access to basic facilities (hospitals, banks, private schools, etc) • Village/Community whose household income is less than 5-6 thousand per month (main bread winner) • Village where parents work for 12-14 hours 300+ days a year as casual labourers, farmers or daily wage earners • Village/Community where girls are not encouraged to go to school beyond primary schooling These kits will be used directly by the children who otherwise have no access to resources to learn. These kits will mean children spend time learning skills over working as labourers in fields.
