Janani Home for Girls
Background
India is a patriarchal society, where the women are not treated on par with men. Evils against women such as domestic violence, demanding dowry, Eve teasing are most common. The boys always get extra care and support than the girl children. The boys would be sent to schools, whereas the girls are kept at home to assist the mother in raising other siblings. The situation would be worst, if the girl children are living with their step mother or with their guardians. Now the situation is improving but it will take lot of time to attain our expectations.
Why Prime Trust shows interest with this Project
Prime Trust works in the community through the Micro Credit Program, Vocational Training Skill Program, Rural Medical Mission, Child Sponsorship Program, Children’s Groups and Evening Schools. We interact with many children who need our urgent care and support. Hence, we are more eager to set up this project. The children are getting admitted through the Child Welfare Committee constituted by the Government of Puducherry. The Committee rigorously scrutinizes children and their families and admits.
Approval from the Government of Puducherry and process of selection
Janani Home was established in 2013 to provide a safe and structured environment where the underprivileged girls, born into deprivation, can develop on their studies and develop individually. Because these girls are often neglected in the society, Janani Home is incredibly important for the improvement of their lives, creating more opportunities in the future.
Janani Home is affiliated with the Department of Women and Child Development, Govt. of Puducherry and monitored by the Union Territory of Puducherry Child Protection Society and Child Welfare Committee. Janani Home for Girls strictly adheres to the terms and conditions laid by Juvenile Justice Act.
