LEARNING AND MIGRATION PROGRAM (LAMP)

LEAVING NO GIRL CHILD BEHIND

PROMOTES UNIVERSAL EDUCATION IN MIGRATION-PRONE GEOGRAPHIES, IMPROVING SCHOOL GOVERNANCE

AND THE QUALITY OF LEARNING

HOW IT WORKS

ACCESSSeasonal hostels allow children to stay in school. Community caregivers extend support to children.

QUALITY EDUCATIONLearning enrichment program bridges learning deficits for those who have been out of school. Children learn basic literacy skills as well as life and social skills, including personal health and hygiene, working in a group, music, art and games.

GOVERNANCECommunity-based advocacy through the national Right to Education Act of 2010. Forms parent teacher associations and trains community members to improve school management. Fosters trust between community lead-ers, parents, and families.

Ramilabehn is a coordinator at a hostel run

by LAMP partner Cohesion Foundation Trust

in the village of Gharana, in Kutch, Gujarat.

Here, she rounds up the village children

for their classes. Ramilabehn has seen the

tremendous difference education makes in

a child’s life and confidence. In the village,

where girls are less likely to attend school

and more likely to drop out, she feels fortu-

nate to have been able to attend school.

Working with LAMP as a coordinator and

ensuring that the children in her village have

the opportunity to learn is her way of giving

back to the community. Staffing LAMP hos-

tels and schools with local youth has mul-

tiple benefits - parents can confidently leave

their children in the care of their community

members, and involving the entire village in

the education of its children highlights the

importance of school and creates an envi-

ronment that supports children’s leaning.

PROGRAM IMPACT 2001 - Present

“…through LAMP’s advocacy and Right to Education work, the program has given the tools and a voice to those

who whish to change the course of education in highly underserved communities.”
