Joihoripur School

Background to the Joihoripur School

Since 2008, Uthana has supported this community school by sponsoring the building program, providing equipment, and our all-important teachers.

This school is a few hours north of Kolkata in a remote rural area. It provides supplementary education for tribal children, for them to be better prepared for the local government school.

Prior to our support, the drop-out rate was close to 90%. 

By providing a targeted supplementary curriculum the drop-out rate has reversed now being less than 10%. 

Our program enables a higher degree of success for the children, and therefore access to better employment opportunities to benefit them, their families and the wider Joihoripur community.
