WHAT WE DO
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY CENTERS
After school hours, children go to the centers, where they get special coaching, especially in the subjects – English, Maths, Science etc., in which they are weak and need special attention. They are provided with nutritional supplements, which include eggs twice or thrice a week, bread, fruits, nuts, pulses, etc.
Apart from this, they are encouraged to participate in other activities such as physical development (sports and games), Social Development (interpersonal and social skills), nurturing creative activities, leadership training etc.

Focus on poverty and education
World Bank Reports indicate that more than 50% people living in poverty are under the age of 18. This figure spikes when one considers the rural settings. The related magnitudes of poverty are unemployment, social exclusion, and high vulnerability to disasters, diseases and other phenomena which prevent people from being productive. Added to this, the newer challenges of climate change, conflict, and food insecurity have proven to burden the poor further. Children from poorer households are more likely to be out of school, indicating the high disparities that exist between rural and urban areas.
Education as a sustainable goal
The Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, also underline the importance of Education (SDG 4). Achieving quality and inclusive education reaffirms the belief that education is the most powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development. The goal is to provide equal access to affordable vocational training to eliminate disparities and achieve universal access to higher quality education.
Empowering Youth with Vocational Education & Skill Development
SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
We believe skill training offered to young girls by Debora Foundation India not only gives them the opportunity for self-employment and earning income at home but also prevents them from early marriage.
Adolescent girls are given skills training in tailoring, embroidery, and fashion design for sustainable livelihoods. During this training, they learn and practice skills in tailoring & embroidery on sarees and blouse pieces. On completion of training, we provide each girl with a sewing machine and tool kits to earn independently and live with dignity.
More than 70 girls, who have successfully completed the vocational training courses in the last two years, are now self-employed, earning a daily income. During and after the lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, they were able to stitch over 500 school uniforms and about 1500 facemasks for the children under our support and earn income.
