Aiming to improve the school culture and environment and help children to learn in a better way is always being a focus area of our intervention. Keeping in mind the adverse socio-economical condition and difficult education scenario in the area, apart from our team building agenda we have to continue with our existing programmes in schools and supplementary learning centres along with livelihood and disaster management support program . Demographics : The Jubayer Masud Educational & Charitable Trust is located in Sontoshpur Pt. II, which is 7 kms away from Tapattary Development block office, 30 km away from District headquarter Bongaigaon and 137 away km from state headquarter Guwahati, Assam. This area is severely affected by flood and erosion. Aie & Manas, the two major rivers are the main reason for erosion in Assam. Due to flood and erosion, the working time has been restricted within 10 to 11 months instead of 12 months of a year. The inhabitants of the place need to shift their houses at the time of flood and erosion. Therefore, it is found very difficult to reach out those families in a required time and manner. On the other hand, almost no livelihood options are available so the families migrate to other places in the search of work. About the community: 90 percent of the total population in the proposed project area belongs to muslim community. The current profile and the economic status of the people are very poor and disadvantageous, and they have very little awareness about their rights and entitlements. Both socio-economic and basic amenities parameters in the area are below district average. Health , hygiene and livelihood are major issues of concern in the project area, and many parents do not send their children to school as education is a lower priority than survival in extreme poverty. The primary source of livelihood in the area is agriculture. The educational system, specially the sectors that are catering to the rural poor continues to be overwhelmed with a host of enormous problems.
About This Cause
Based in Bongaigaon, Jubayer Masud Educational & Charitable Trust (JMECT) is a not for profit organization based in Bongaigaon district of (Assam), India. working for community development with special emphasis on child education and community health in rural areas of Bongaigaon, Assam. The trust was formed in April 2007 in the memory of Jubayer Masud, a student of class III of Manah Jatio Vidhyalaya, Lengtisinga, Bongaigaon, who was kidnapped and brutally murdered while returning from school to his home. In the memory of his sad demise, JMECT was set up with an aim on working on education and livelihood issues in the area. JMECT is working towards achieve its goal by providing ‘quality education to underprivileged children and help to develop them into confident, employable and responsible citizens of tomorrow’. Overall organization development would be one of the major thrusts in the coming year. Aiming to improve the school culture and environment and help children to learn in a better way is always being a focus area of our intervention. Keeping in mind the adverse socio-economical condition and difficult education scenario in the area, apart from our team building agenda we have to continue with our existing programmes in schools and supplementary learning centres. Details Activities : Early Child Education : Early childhood, defined as the period from birth to eight years old, is a time of remarkable growth with brain development at its peak. During this stage, children are highly influenced by the environment and the people that surround them. Here the concern JMECT is to support govt. schools that have been facing problems in management due shortage of teachers where there is huge gape of teacher student ratio . Though the focus was to support the govt. schools, JMECT always took tend to follow own models of teaching. JMECT has been working with Govt. schools. Before the intervention many children were out of reach from the teacher as the number of children was huge. But the teacher support from JMECT could extend and provided better service and thus attention could be spread to all the children. Around 7500 children are reach out in this intervention Remedial teaching : Due to several causes a number of children are not achieving grade appropriate learning competency. This is not only in our area but also it is a common phenomenon in all over the country. Number of national studies indicated that a huge number of children are failing to achieve their grade-appropriate learning standard. A number of children lacked basic literacy and numeracy could not participate at the level of their grade. The organization provide support to achieve certain competencies, so that gradually they gather confidence and cope up in the regular classes. During our intervention we found that a section of students were far behind from their grade appropriate level. Around 9000 children is given learning support through this process. Yearly about one thousand children are benefitted under this program . Model Education Centre : Towards the achievement of it’s vision JMECT has been giving tremendous emphasis on education since the inception of the organization. As the development of education is the prime focus of the organization all the activities undertaken were carried out realizing the issues related to the education. JMECT is the only organization in the region to render excellent services for the poor and deprived children living in rural areas of Bongaigaon, specially in Abhayapuri region. It’s concentration areas lies in so remote and riverein areas. Majority of the people are illiterate and poor. The education status indicates one of the lowest literacy rate in comparison to other district. Due to seasonal flood people face problem in their living and children gets hampered in their learning and schooling. Some of the advantaged people teach their children in private and town areas. Disadvantaged children are left out from accessing quality education. The school infrastructures of the region are not adequate and often damaged by the flood. The existing school infrastructures are not managed properly. In the midst of such problems JMECT has emerged to take positive step to uplift these children. Accordingly J.M. Academy was opened to give service to the poor and marginalized children of the region. The education centre has been running successfully and smoothly where yearly about 150 children are taking education and 2030 children are cover under this program . Alternative Livelihood Program : The organization has been working on alternative livelihood since 2016. During our initiative on education the organization observed that many parents do not send their children to school for education is a lower priority than survival in extreme poverty. The primary source of livelihood in the area is agriculture. Most people in the area are daily wages earners. Many people have lost their homes in the floods and the main livelihood of those families is now run on construction labour, bricks labour, coal labour, collecting of wastage materials etc. Maximum families are below poverty line. Many children drop out from schools to supplement their family income by working in the fields, restaurants, garages, ragpicking, brick industries, bidi industry in hazardous conditions without any incentives .Under this circumstances the organization decide to work on livelihood issue for better education . The goal of the program is to support poverty reduction to the poor parents who have school going children in their families by promoting sustainable livelihood opportunities .The extra earning component of the project support crop and livestock production, higher-value cash crops having appropriate and other forms of economic development products. Already reach out 1560 families under this program Orphan Support :J.M.E.C.T has always been supporting students in terms of promoting education in the marginalized community, the students who have parents are deprived of seeking education and the condition of the children who do not have parents is worse. Orphan children are unable to get a chance to learn; they often drop out of school at an early age or never enrol themselves in schools to meet their daily needs. Without education, they are subjected to extreme poverty and at times they might be forced to bonded labour. They lack parental support, lack of motivation, encouragement and love and care which results in building up of anti-social behaviour. We have aimed at ensuring education of the underprivileged orphan children, the students who are orphan and are deprived of education due to lack of access to education, we have been supporting them in ways we are able to afford , till now we have supported 14 students.
