India Development Scholarship 2009
Antipodeans Abroad is offering a three-month scholarship on a new and exciting pilot project in the heart of the desert state of Rajasthan. Apply now for the chance of a lifetime. Gain unique international community development experience in India. Two full scholarships are available.
WHERE: PALI, SOUTH RAJASTHAN, INDIA
START DATE: 20 NOVEMBER 2009
DURATION: 3 MONTHS
WORK FOCUS: EDUCATION / SOCIAL WORK / DEVELOPMENT
CLOSING DATE: 30 AUGUST 2009
OVERVIEW: Currently only 13% of women in India have completed more than 5 years of schooling, and the situation in rural areas is far worse. India’s current public school system is one where nearly 20% of the girls are dropping out each year, resulting in an average dropout rate of close to 80% by the time they finish 8th grade.
The NGO ‘Foundation Educate Girls Globally’ (FEGG) program focuses on mobilising communities to take over government schools, working with teachers, bringing girls who have dropped out back into school and making schools work for girls. The program also focuses on improving school quality to retain girls in school. We are pleased to offer two scholarships to FEGG to document the work done so far and assist in the program’s development. Working alongside the NGO’s local staff your responsibilities will include documentation, research reports and creating presentation materials for the government. Please see www.educategirls.org for further details about the organisation’s work. Rajasthan’s fascinating mix of religions, festivals, temples, bazaars, exotic and colourful people and beautiful landscapes make it a compelling country of contrasts and contradictions.
