Chudar after-school centers are located in the community itself (places taken on rent in the city, local panchayat buildings, schools or libraries, etc. in villages) and tutors hired locally from the same area conduct classes every evening.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, we changed our strategy and began WhatsApp-based online classes instead of conducting classes in physical centers in the community. Many children attended online classes using smartphones. In rural villages and Chennai localities where smartphones were not available, tablets were given to local volunteers so that children in those areas could continue learning on WhatsApp through the tabs.

Chudar has been working in partnership with government schools and government-aided schools by providing them quality content by distributing workbooks and sharing worksheets, interactive videos, and puzzles online through the school teachers in the school WhatsApp groups.

We also have a Community-Learning Program (CLP) on weekends to engage with more children in the community who may not attend our center classes every day.

45-50 Worksheets per year: These worksheets serve as valuable supplementary learning materials, reinforcing concepts taught in the classroom and promoting active engagement with the curriculum.

5 Notebooks per year: A simple yet essential tool for students to organize their notes and assignments, facilitating effective learning and academic success.

Stationery Kit: Equipping children with basic stationery essentials such as pens, pencils, erasers, and rulers, ensuring they have everything they need to participate fully in their lessons.

15-20 Assessment Tools: These tools enable teachers to assess students’ progress and understanding, guiding personalized learning paths and ensuring no child is left behind

Science Materials: Hands-on science materials spark curiosity and exploration, making learning fun and inspiring the next generation of scientists and innovators.

With your support, we can provide these educational essentials to children in need, empowering them to reach their full potential and pursue their dreams. Every contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children and their communities.

Join us in our mission to create brighter futures through education. Together, we can equip every child with the tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
