Organization:  Console Mission

​

Project Objective:  to motivate rural children to remain in school, and to assist those who lack academic and emotional support

​

In brief:  Console Mission, registered in 2010, serves underprivileged children and their communities. This DDHCFN partner works in rural South Lalitpur, where many families struggle to keep their children in school.  Console Mission helps address the issue of lack of parental help with schoolwork through a unique project called “Our Study Places." These are community-based after-school sites where volunteers offer tutoring and assistance to children in need, helping to keep them in school.
