Another example is Bodh, one of the partners in PESLE, a programme you will hear more about later. It is a local NGO, also working in early childhood education, but in the slums of Jaipur, in India. Bodh has established a number of community-run pre-schools in the area and the local children, who previously were not attending school at all, are now attending regularly. The schools have been formed as integral parts of the communities. As well as providing quality early childhood education, the curricula and teaching methods have been adapted to the local surroundings.

The Rajasthan government and the Aga Khan Foundation provided the remaining $1.6 million. This partnership is the first phase of the Bodh’s goal of providing education to over 100,000 children in the slums of Jaipur who do not attend school.
