Community Events, Clubs

An abundance of technology has led to a scarcity of human interactions and interconnectedness. Hasn't it?

Community Clubs aspires to bring people together regularly and

1. Increase the Number of interactions local communities/households have with each other
2. Improve the Quality of those interactions.

Clubs enable this by running community driven/led activities, and by bringing people together.

Inspired by PRATHAM

Facilitator: Olimalar Foundation

About the Sessions: The Reading Club follows the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach developed by Pratham. Instead of grouping children by age or grade, we first understand each child's reading level and then support them with activities that match their current ability.
The goal is simple: help every child enjoy reading, build confidence, and develop a lifelong reading habit.
