The Center for Education, Development, and Research (CEDAR India) is a wonderful organization committed to the enrichment of students’ lives, education, and family-life. Their approach to providing enrichment through the arts and media in rural communities is truly collaborative. With a research-based approach, they have fostered much great partnerships and community engagement programs.
They were commited to supporting children from rural communities within and around the Lingavadi Village of Nattam, Tamil Nadu. The challenge was that there was no centralized location that was accessible to the community. Educational outcomes can be a challenge in rural communities, and CEDAR’s team wanted to work to ensure every student had access to quality education in a safe environment. The community came out in full support and was able to rally for a land purchase.
We are so pleased to be included in this project. The events hosted and the services provided are already popular and there are many great developments planned for the years to come.
