About This Cause
Ek Tara works with girls and women from the largest slum communities in Kolkata, India. Our core projects are centered around Topsia and Tiljala where many members of a migrant minority community were rendered jobless about 20 years ago. Some features of these areas are: Girl children here still have no access to quality education. With illiteracy and poverty they are prone to child marriage and child labour. Women face discrimination, abandonment, physical and mental abuse, multiple marriages, lack of financial support and earning opportunities The area is notorious as the largest crime belt in Eastern India with trafficking, drug peddling making girls and women here extremely vulnerable. Scope of Work: We, at Ek Tara, believe in giving opportunities and choices to children and helping them grow the way they would like to, and in empowering them to chart their own futures. We help build resilience and inculcate knowledge by being engaged and being supportive of them in their learning journey by: Providing quality education- to make all students well-rounded, application driven and future-ready individuals Giving equal importance to holistic development by stressing on Extra Curricular Activities, Social- Emotional Learning. Make families partners as opposed to beneficiaries by building their capacities. Preparing the students to be agents of change Integrating all programmes with the UN SDG’s ( with focus on 4 and 10).
