3 Useful Initiatives to Educate Underprivileged Children

Do you often think about helping the deprived segments of the society? Have you not been able to do anything about it due to financial constraints, lack of direction, or any other reason?

Here we share three of the most useful initiatives that could help you get started.

1.       Turn Your Living Room into a Classroom

Whether you are located in India or in any other part of the world, this is something that you can do by making little to no investment. If you are short on resources, and want to get started with teaching activities, begin from your home. Look for the underprivileged children in your vicinity and educate them. Your family, neighbors, friends, and servants can help spread the word about the free education you offer.

If you do not have a separate space, turn your living room into a classroom and conduct classes there.  You can work in coordination with your neighbors to hold activities and to teach various subjects. With the right curriculum and a comfortable space to sit and learn, these kids will surprise you with their ability to learn.

If you do not have enough time to spare and still want to do this, you can start teaching from your living room as a weekend activity.

2.       Mobilize Yourself, Hire a Van

The underprivileged people you reach out to may be hesitant in coming to you. They are likely to turn down your plea to educate themselves. In such conditions, reaching out to them is a good option. Rent a van, and give it the look of a school on wheels. Set up an interesting background to make it fun for the kids. Go to the slum areas, park your van at a good spot, reach out to the children and their parents, and start holding classes there. In India, you will find that some grownups living in that area will be interested in learning from you as well. Try to come up with innovative and engaging ideas that would prove interesting for the kids. Make the classes interactive and fun.

You might fail to gather a group of children initially, but your persistent efforts will eventually pay off.

3.       Hold Outdoor Activities

Children are fond of playing. You can hold various outdoor activities every weekend to engage students towards productive learning. During the process, the students develop life-skills in a healthy way. Try to look for an open ground in the vicinity of the place where you are volunteering, and organize the games there. This way, your students will develop leadership skills and will become better team players, with a focused and healthy mind.
