Objective/Mission/Goals
Deenabandhu is a voluntary organization committed to the welfare of orphaned, abandoned or destitute children of all castes, creed or religion. It was founded in 1992 at Chamarajanagar.
The main objective behind Deenabandhu is to provide a stress-free homely atmosphere that ensures each child develops to his or her full potential. They strive to provide basic education until 10th standard and equip them with life-oriented vocational training. Technical or college education is provided for those with aptitude. The education is imparted with the view of children playing their part in mainstream society with an emphasis on value based education. An exclusive home was founded for the girls in 2005.
Work Description
Deenbandhu primary school was founded in 1998 to provide high quality free education for children of poor farmers. The central ideas behind the school, are respect for individual child's personality and aptitude and parental and community involvement in their education. There is also an educational research centre to provide teacher support activities for government primary school teachers. Some government schools are adopted and their teachers are trained at workshops to use locally available materials as teaching aids. Resource persons also provide sustained support to the teachers at the classroom level.
In addition to these above education initiatives Deenbandhu is also involved in rural development programs through self help groups. Workshops are conducted in a cluster of villages and their agricultural and economic needs are addressed. The workshops include a variety of topics including budgeting, bookkeeping, dealing with banks, health and sanitation and effective farming techniques.
