Aarambha
People in Needs’ Aarambha project in Nepal supports 8,500 married and out-of-school adolescent girls in Nepal in developing literacy, numeracy and life skills. The girls come from one of the most disadvantaged ethnic communities of Nepal and are marginalised in a number of ways (33% Muslims, 19% Dalit). The distance teaching and learning (DTL) approach supports 1,709 un-married girls (under 14 years of age) through 83 learning Community Learning Centres (CLCs). After CLCs were suspended, DTL was implemented through phone-based and small group learning.
