Preschool Education
From the moment children are born in the poor families or in slums, they face the daily hardship of malnutrition, lack of healthcare and education. They do not get education to be prepared for primary school and to be competitive in society. When one group of children goes to school, another group of children flood the streets to look for work. For these children school is out of reach. They are burdened with adult responsibilities from an early age. They work for their own survival and for the financial survival of their families or the people they are living with. PLSKS strives to work for these children by extending preschool learning with safe and protected learning environment. Here children are taught basic education along with social values, patriotism and participate in various extra-curricular activities. Preschool attendance also improves children’s enrollment and retention rates and academic performance in primary school and beyond.
Coaching
The children who are going to school after grade one or five are becoming drop out as the family cannot manage the educational expenses and not able to ensure the quality of education by giving them coaching through admitting them in the coaching center or home based tutor. So PLSKS creates an opportunities to provide free coaching type education for the poor children going to school with a view to ensuring their higher education. PLSKS conducts this education at PLSKS learning centers after preschool sessions. PLSKS not only facilitates these students with quality education along with preparing homework and problem solving but also teaches social values and helps them participate in various extra-curricular activities.
Healthy Meals for Children
Healthy diets have profound effect on children’s sense of mental and emotional wellbeing, helping to prevent conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia etc. PLSKS strives to provide healthy meals for children of the orphanage located at Bangla Bazar and Kundal area in Saidpur Upazila. In the orphanage most of the children are from helpless poor family but they are very meritorious. Neither the families of the talented students nor the orphanage could provide proper nutritious food for their children due to financial constraint.
School Supplies for Children
PLSKS strives to support the poor students providing them with various educational elements. Children of the project will receive essential educational supplies consisting of school bags, notebooks, pen, pencil, eraser, scale and a pencil box to continue their schooling.
