Educating street children in the Mathare slum

Educating street children in the Mathare slum

Summary

120 impoverished children from the Mathare slum in Kenya will be given education, technical training, school materials, food and medicine.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

With dire poverty in the Mathare slum, few people can educate and provide the basic needs of their children. So many children end up on the street. They don't have enough to eat and they can't afford to go to school, so they spend their time scavenging for food. They face violence, hunger and disease and, without an education, they have no way out. This program will give 120 children an education and help them succeed until they can support themselves and ultimately their families.

How will this project solve this problem?

We pick the school or technical training jointly with the child. We pay for school fees and materials. We provide medicine and food as needed. We follow up regularly with schools and children. We continue our support as long as needed.

Potential Long Term Impact

The slum is a cycle. Street children grow up without an education and have children who then become street children. Education is the only way out of the slum, for a productive, independent life.

Violence wrapped up Jahangirnagar University campus: clash between students and police

clash between students and police

""Violence wrapped up Jahangirnagar University campus: 
             clash between students and police""

Like some other universities, Jahangirnagar University is also going to fall in an uneven condition as from early of today severe clash is going between the students and the police. I am thunderstruck of hearing about the open firing of police on the students. In Bangladesh, nothing is impossible. It is required to find out the forces behind this occurrence. Movement against different issues is a common event in the public varsities, which can be solved by discussion but obviously not by open firing which happened in Jahangirnagar University.

Police have open fired on the students. They fired rubber bullets that caused injury to at least five students. Rakib’, from 39th batch of the Department of Pharmacy, ‘Robin’, from 41st batch of the Department of Mathematics, ‘Maruf’, from 39th batch of the Institute of Information Technology, ‘Nahid’, from the Department of Finance and Banking and ‘Bashir’, from the 40th batch of the Department of Statistics, were injured in the firing. In response to it, the students of Jahangirnagar University blockaded Dhaka-aricha highway, which results a 10-km traffic jam of the vehicles on both sides. And general people are suffering due to the jam. This continued until 11.30 am.

Not all the students but some of the students are always in behind of such movements. Most of the times there are political issues at the back of these movements. And like others this movement is nothing but the outcome of the conflict between the two groups of Bangladesh chhatra league of Jahangirnagar university.

From Campus sources, it is known that a group of Bangladesh Chhatra League of Jahangirnagar University beat up Likhon who belongs to a BCL faction. And he was beat up in the Bangabandhu Hall around 10:30pm Wednesday following an inter-party disagreement. Protesting the attack, Likhon’s connections brought out a procession on the campus around 11:00pm.After few moments, police entered Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall of the university and tried to arrest Nahid. He is a third year student of anthropology department accused of attacking Likhon. Police shot fire in the air when other students resisted them from arresting Nahid. Pro-VC Prof Farhad Hossain, Registrar Abu Bakr Siddique, Treasurer Prof Nasiruddin and Proctor Prof Tapan Kumar Saha came to resolve the situation through discussion but failed.

If this situation continues, the varsity will be closed and the study of the general students will be in an inferior position. So the varsity authority should take immediate steps to find the forces attached to this movement and take proper action against them.

Therefore, the reason is what I said before. Conflict between the political groups and the sufferer of this are the students and the general people. University is a place where students come to be enlightened but this dirty politics, some students related to it making the environment of the universities very unpleasant for the general students, and their studies. Student politics should be banned either this type of situation will arise repeatedly.

EDUCATION FOR STREET CHILD

EXACT

Most of disadvantage children gather no higher education or does not take training like other countries reason poor family cannot afford to buy books and paying school fees in time for their children. Few big city NGO arrange or make few institute by NGO finance it only happens for some free school. But the quantity of free school is very rare against demand. I think most of higher education   are very high for disadvantage family, they could not afford it by their earning.

Lack of education and training for poor children or poor families in rural area they don’t have opportunity in the rural area, that’s why they want to come urban area for taking quality education they want to come with his/her family or few times alone. We see often they obviously beg on street big city or town in order to earn few for living their live.

Most of the children for going their in tender age I think below their age of 12 years..Every day early in the morning going outside in house for beg or scavenging for plastic,different bottles are many things collect on the street they do the work eve of the evening and then they go their harbour or railway station carrying bags or sack.

Our Government have simple statistic based onsurvey report by the Bangladeshi institute of Development studies,I think the number of Bangladeshi street child to be around 3,80,000.The advantage of Education for poor children they can not go to their choice full institute.

Bangladesh is a small country with a large but hard-working and resourceful population. It shares borders with India in the west, north and east, Myanmar on the southeast and has the Bay of Bengal to the south. Ninety-eight percent of the population speaks Bangla with varying and rich dialects. The other two percent includes ethnic groups, having their own language with rich cultural heritage. Bangladesh gained its freedom through a short but intense war of liberation in 1971. The struggles for liberation began earlier with the Language Movement of 21^st February, 1952 when students and people rose as one to protect the dignity of the mother tongue. 

UNESCO has recently proclaimed 21 February as the International Mother Language Day, in honour of the language movement martyrs, which is observed globally every year in recognition of the native languages of peoples of the world.

Start of formal primary education in the Bangladesh region dates back to 1854 and literacy activities at individual initiatives to 1918. At liberation in December 1971, the literacy rate in the country was only 16.8 percent. Bangladesh has since made remarkable advances in championing the causes of education and making it a serious public purpose. Historically, education had been the exclusive preserve of the elite and, mostly the male. As time passed, female education was encouraged by allowing co-education as well as by setting up some separate institutions for girls. However, progress and participation in education remained limited. It fell on the Government of Bangladesh, after independence, to lay the foundations of an extensive education system. The Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, adopted in 1972, acknowledged education as a basic right of the people and enjoined on the State to ensure the provision of universal and compulsory free primary education to all children, relating education to the needs of the society and removing illiteracy. The Government nationalized and took over 36,165 primary schools in 1973 and regularized it under the Primary Education (Taking Over) Act of 1974, and declared 157,724 primary school teachers as government employees. Primary education was free and made compulsory under the Primary Education (Compulsory) Act 1990, implemented initially in 68 upazillas (sub-districts) in 1992 and extended to the rest of the country from 1993.
