[NGO World] RIDA Project for Girls Education and Training

RIDA stands for “Required Initiatives for

Daughter’s Access”. Under this program TNW

takes need based initiatives for the girls to provide

them services at their door step which are essential

for their educational, vocational and health related

requirements.

RIDA Mahnisayal ( a case study)

Mahnisyal is a village between khanewal and Multan with

population over 25000. For girls, there are educational

facilities but maximum up to matriculation level. After

matriculation only affording families can send their daughters

to the cities for getting higher education while poor girls sit at

home although having talent and hope in their mind. Feeling

the need, TNW with participation of local stakeholders took

initiatives and arranged RIDA center to provide these

daughters an opportunity to continue their educational

journey in their reach with standard but affordable.

Here 90 girls are getting education above matriculation level.

Some of these are those girls who have restarted their

education as they had terminated the process after completing

10th class a few years back due to unavailability of local facility

and resources to move to nearby cities for this purpose.
