How the Curriculum Transformed Street Children in Rural Bihar

Curriculam Dice

In the dusty lanes of rural Bihar, a quiet transformation is taking place—one joyful classroom at a time. With the introduction of the curriculum, children who once roamed the streets and picked through waste are now sitting in classrooms, reading simple English sentences and smiling with confidence.

Empowering the Forgotten

Dr Sheena, the leader of ASHA PROJECT shares the incredible story of change. Working with children from a rat-eating community, she saw firsthand how these children—many of whom had never been to school—were given a new beginning through the curriculum.

Thanks to training provided by Joy Ann’s team, local teachers were equipped with engaging teaching tools, visual aids, and structured routines. They began teaching children who had no concept of classroom learning. Within weeks, signs of change began to emerge.

Small Changes, Big Impact

  • Children began arriving on time, clean and ready to learn
  • Basic hygiene habits like brushing and handwashing became routine
  • Discipline and classroom participation improved
  • Children learned to speak and understand basic English
  • Parents noticed positive changes and began valuing education

“Many of these children are now enrolled in government schools,” she says. “Their parents tell us that they’re proud, and they’ve started dreaming of a better future.”
