In Rural India children born in families living below poverty line (BPL)
have no option but to attend government run public schools.
Rural Dalit children are born with generational malnutrition.
Hunger, child-labor, unhealthy living conditions and social practices further cause growth retardation and susceptibility to chronic diseases among the rural Dalit children.

IMPACT OFFERS AFTER SCHOOL BRIDGE COURSES
25% of teachers do not report to work in government schools.
Children drop out to take care of younger siblings or to work in fields.
Rural Public Schools are rundown, lack furniture, libraries, computers, running water, no playgrounds, and toilets.
60% of rural Dalit children drop out of school without graduating from high school. For education and health, India has the lowest allocation in percentage terms among the five major emerging world economies.
The percentage of GDP expended on education has remained stagnant at around 3 percent during the past few years and 1.15 percent of GDP for health. 80 percent of this budget for education and health goes to pay staff salaries.
The purpose of Eagle Wings, our after School Bridge Program is to strengthen the rural Dalit children in the 4 Rs: Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic, and Reasoning. Special attention is given to spoken English and Sciences along with moral formation, development of multiple intelligences, critical thinking, problem-solving, multi-tasking, strong ethic, and social concern and responsibility
To connect with a Big brother or Big sister globally to experience a sense of self-worth and to change the way they see the world and themselves through the eyes of the upper caste and those that exploit them.
To find the means to establish rural libraries. There are none in schools or in towns and villages in a 100-mile radius of our village school.
We manage a government-aided Mission School grades 1 to 10 on a shoestring budget with two full-time teachers and six Teachers' Aides for 220 Dalit students.
Come alongside these rural teachers and add immeasurable value to the lives of both the students and the teachers.
