Transforming government schools into model establishments

Program start 2015
Impacted population 1378

FXB India works in the Pondichery territory to rehabilitate school buildings and open the right to education to marginalized children.

Context

Most young Indians do not receive enough education to be able to look towards the future with hope and optimism and many, especially in rural areas, are forced to drop out of school after primary school for various reasons related to poverty. The situation of girls is even more dismal, as it is estimated that they receive, on average, less than four years of schooling throughout their lives.
