Map of school bus project

At Satyashodhak Mahila Vikas Mandal, we believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their geographical location. Join us in our mission to empower underprivileged students living in remote tribal areas by supporting our initiative to provide school vans. Your contribution can make a significant difference, enabling these students to overcome transportation barriers and embark on a journey of knowledge and opportunity.

Overcoming Geographic Challenges

For students living in remote tribal areas, attending school can be a daunting challenge. Lack of transportation infrastructure and the vast distances involved often hinder their access to education. By donating school vans, we can bridge this gap and provide a reliable means of transportation. These vans serve as a lifeline, enabling students to commute safely and efficiently to school. With improved access to education, these students can unlock their full potential, breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering their communities.

Ensuring Regular Attendance

Regular school attendance is crucial for academic success, and transportation plays a significant role in ensuring students can consistently attend classes. By providing school vans, we address one of the key barriers that prevent students from regularly attending school. With a reliable mode of transportation, students can overcome the challenges of distance and terrain, making it easier for them to be present in the classroom. Regular attendance fosters continuity in learning, encourages student engagement, and paves the way for improved academic achievements and future opportunities.

Community Empowerment

The impact of providing school vans goes beyond individual students. It extends to the entire community, empowering generations to come. By enabling students to access education, we uplift the community as a whole, promoting progress, and fostering social development. Education is a catalyst for change, and through these vans, we empower remote tribal areas with the transformative power of knowledge, laying the foundation for a brighter and more inclusive future.

┬аYour support in donating for school vans can break the barriers that hinder underprivileged students from accessing education. Join us in empowering these students and transforming their lives.

Call to Action┬а

Support Satyashodhak Mahila Vikas Mandal’s initiative by donating towards school vans. Together, let’s bridge the gap and empower underprivileged students in remote tribal areas to reach their full potential through education.

DESCRIPTION
Education for all has always been an integral part of the sustainable development agenda. The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002 adopted the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) which in its Section X, reaffirmed both the┬аMillennium Development Goal 2┬аin achieving universal primary education by 2015 and the goal of the Dakar Framework for Action on Education for All to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2005 and at all levels of education by 2015.
┬а
The JPOI addressed the need to integrate sustainable development into formal education at all levels, as well as through informal and non-formal education opportunities.There is growing international recognition of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as an integral element of quality education and a key enabler for sustainable development. Both the┬аMuscat Agreement┬аadopted at the Global Education For All Meeting (GEM) in 2014 and the proposal for┬аSustainable Development Goals (SDGs)┬аdeveloped by the Open Working Group of the UN General Assembly on SDGs (OWG) include ESD in the proposed targets for the post- 2015 agenda.
┬а
The proposed Sustainable Development Goal 4 reads “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all” and includes a set of associated targets.ESD is closely tied into the international discussions on sustainable development, which have grown in scale and importance since,┬аOur Common Future┬аappeared in 1987, providing the first widely-used definition of sustainable development as the “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.“The crucial role of education in achieving sustainable development was also duly noted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, through Chapter 36 of its outcome document –┬аAgenda 21.The importance of promoting education for sustainable development and integrating sustainable development actively into education was also emphasized in paragraph 233 of the┬аFuture We Want, the outcome of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20, in 2012.
┬а
In 2005, UNESCO launched the┬аUnited Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development┬аwhich reaffirmed the key role of education in shaping values that are supportive of sustainable development, and in consolidating sustainable societies. The final report of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development,┬аShaping the Future We Want, was launched at the┬аUNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development, held in November 2014, Nagoya, Japan.
┬а
In the run-up to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20, the┬аHigher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI)┬аwas created as a partnership of several sponsor UN entities (UNESCO, UN-DESA, UNEP, Global Compact, and UNU) aiming at galvanizing commitments from higher education institutions to teach and encourage research on sustainable development, greening campuses and support local sustainability efforts.
┬а
With a membership of almost 300 universities worldwide, HESI accounts for more than one-third of all the voluntary commitments that came out of the Rio +20 Conference, providing higher education institutions with a unique interface between policy making and academia.
