Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Building Blocks Group India Foundation has been striving to ensure the empowerment of girl child through education by providing necessary basic amenities in government schools and colleges. The foundation firmly believes that the empowerment of a daughter empowers the entire family, thus leading to the development of society.
BBG Foundation is a PURPOSIVE trust that believes in the RIGHT to education for EVERY girl child. Working on par with like-minded organizations to improve the welfare services, the foundation has been working towards increasing female literacy, reducing school dropouts, female fetocide, and menstrual hygiene management. It lays emphasis on changing the mindset of society through creating awareness, providing training, and community mobilization.
BBG Foundation has been actively participating in many events related to the community development hosted by the departments of the Govt. of India and many other organizations. The foundation is sharing the dais with the like-minded organizations to reach great and unseen heights in the development of the girl child and consequently the nation. It believes that community mobilization and awareness to the people is the stepping stone towards the welfare of the girl child in our nation.
BBG Foundation in all its gatherings has been highlighting the severity of the imbalanced Child Sex Ratio (CSR) between the age groups of 0-6 years; the current sex ratio is 918 per 1000 boys which indicate the suppression of girl childbirths in the society and it leads to large implications on future generations. In its perspective, State & Union Governments, NGOs, Civil Society Organizations, and responsible individuals of the society should take quick action to gain control over this issue.
Striving hard to disseminate its ideology to the community for a greater cause; it has been providing awareness to various stakeholders such as Panchayati members, parents, teachers, Self Help Group members, CBOs, Anganwadi teachers, and mothers committees.
The foundation not only imparts best education and scholarships to the poor & meritorious girls but is also ensuring basic amenities in about 40 schools so far. It has been conducting periodical awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene management and anemia control in the government high schools & colleges in collaboration with ANM and AWW. It also conducted health camps with the support of local PHC doctors and other volunteer gynecologist and also facilitating iron supplements to adolescent girls (age groups of 11-18) through Anganwadi centers to prevent anemia.
The Government of India has given utmost priority to the welfare of the women and girls in its schemes. It has announced many schemes such as Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, Balika Samriddhi Yojana, CBSE Udaan Scheme, and National Scheme of Incentive to Girls for Secondary Education, etc. But most of them are not utilized to their fullest due to lack of awareness.
The foundation, therefore, is trying to connect the eligible beneficiaries with the schemes by providing awareness on all the available schemes among the rural community. The foundation is keen on looking forward to an opportunity to mobilize people towards the welfare of women and girls in all the aspects.
By implementing all the aforesaid activities, BBG Foundation aims to achieve the following:
Preventing gender-based selective abortions in society
Ensuring survival and protection of girl child in infancy
Ensuring education and participation of the girl child
