CHILD-LINK

Girls from poor, rural Indian families are not always given the same educational opportunities as their male siblings. Despite the Indian constitution encouraging equal opportunity for boys and girls, poverty often dictates that sons will be adequately educated but daughters will not. Child-Link is seeking to redress the balance in one Southern Indian community by specifically funding girls through the Gnana Deepam Matriculation School in the state of Tamil Nadu... Child-Link supports the education of girls in India... We are absolutely delighted to have the older children back at school. They have been greatly missed by all the staff and have really enjoyed catching up with each other. Fortunately, exams have been cancelled meaning that these older children will not be penalised for their time away from school, although we are still waiting to find out how they will be assessed.
