Blossom Bus: first generation learners ride to school in rural India
Loading...
Uploaded by LotusOutreach on Sep 23, 2010
Mewat, Haryana is largely populated by the Muslim Meo tribe whose misfortunes clash sharply with more affluent surrounding areas. With a female literacy rate of only 2%, Mewat ranks among the most regressive districts in terms of girls' education in all of India. The scarcity of secondary schools combined with conservative local attitudes toward female mobility has terrible consequences for an adolescent girl in Mewat: if there is no school in her village, she is forced to drop out.
The Blossom Bus project is working to overcome this barrier by employing local vehicles in rural India to transport minority girls to the nearest secondary school, clearing the single greatest obstacle to their continuing education.
