"How
does Namaste Banepa Help?"
Namaste Banepa helps in two ways:-
Firstly, Namaste Banepa provides small scholarships
to children who would not be able to attend school without
them. The Namaste Banepa Board <link to board> selects
beneficiaries based on pre-set criteria. The scholarships
pay <link to what your sponsorship money does> for all
fees, books, and stationeries, uniform and other expenses
incurred during the school year.
Secondly, because the Namaste Banepa Board
is made up of respected local people, it has the opportunity
to advocate to perhaps reluctant parents the benefits of education.
Knowing the community members and the local social norms,
the Board can approach the subject in a culturally sensitive
manner.
Additionally, being a small project, Namaste
Banepa is self-monitoring and does not utilize precious funds
for huge administrative costs.

"The
Convention on the Rights of the Child
adopted by the United Nations in 1989 reaffirms
that all children have rights that must be respected,
protected and promoted. Article 28 states that
"All children have a right to education".
In some places around the world, this just does
not happen." |
