Nari Gunjan is an organization dedicated to empowering women in the Patna, Gaya, Purnea, and Saran districts of Bihar. It represents marginalized women, including Dalit, landless individuals, and agricultural laborers of the Musahar Community. This organization was founded when rural women from grassroots communities came together to share their experiences and support each other in their collective struggles.

The mission of Nari Gunjan aligns with our own mission: to provide education to underprivileged sections of society, particularly Dalits, women, and children, with the aim of integrating them into mainstream society and improving their lives.

At Joy of Helping, we firmly believe that every child, without exception, has the fundamental right to access free and high-quality education up to the age of 14. This education should be provided on the basis of equal opportunity, devoid of discrimination based on caste, class, gender, or religion. Our approach fosters a nurturing and caring environment with appropriate facilities that facilitate joyful learning. We focus on educating Dalit children to help them overcome the challenges of illiteracy, socio-economic disadvantages, and cultural constraints.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of Nari Gunjan, young girls and boys from the Musahar community now eagerly pursue education in their respective areas and villages. They serve as role models, inspiring families from other communities to enroll their children in Nari Gunjan’s educational centers.

This educational initiative has also sparked an increased awareness of health and hygiene within these communities. People now understand the importance of cleanliness, hygiene, and sanitation.

It is the shared responsibility of teachers, parents, and civil society to advocate for and exert pressure on the government to fulfill its obligations.

Additionally, it is their duty to actively support and facilitate the realization of the right to education for underprivileged and marginalized children, particularly those who are in bonded labor or facing deprivation.

Young boys and girls from the Musahar community are enthusiastic about pursuing education in their respective areas and villages. They also serve as motivators for other communities, encouraging them to send their children to educational centers.

Furthermore, our collective efforts aim to reduce the prevalence of child marriage, child labor, child abuse, and domestic violence. By doing so, we aspire to uplift the Dalit communities from the grips of backwardness and illiteracy, fostering a brighter and more equitable future for all.
