Educate for Life is a UK registered charity. We work in partnership with local organisation RBKS. Together, we run Hunar Ghar, an innovative school in rural Rajasthan. We action-research a model for sustainable development that integrates education, healthcare, and community work. Hunar Ghar currently has 258 pupils, ranging from four to fourteen. All students that attend the school are first generation learners. We have adapted how the curriculum is taught to meet their needs. They are achieving good academic results with literacy and numeracy skills above the state average. We are documenting our experiences with a view to being a role model for other schools in rural areas. The school acts as a hub for community related development as we aim to provide seamless support for community members from pregnancy to adulthood through community services focused on maternal and child healthcare and education and mentoring. We’re transitioning to work with the government across a wider area. W
