 Uma Nivas Girls' Home |
The Uma Nivas Girls' Home is part of a larger women's community development project started in 1985 that seeks to empower women to take their rightful place in society, help them to better care for themselves, nurture their families and support their communities. Uma Nivas means "Abode of the Universal Mother". In addition to the Children's Home which presently houses 23 children, the project includes three primary schools and a girls' high school. There are girls' hostels to accommodate children from outlying villages, who could not otherwise attend school due to difficulties of transportation. Apart from the Uma Nivas Girls' High School, there is no girls' high school for miles around. |
