Online Education to Minimize Learning Loss
In the middle of COVID - 19 Pandemic MRC conducted online classes
As the schools were getting prepared to be reopen after Dec - Feb 2020 winter vacation, the COVID - 19 pandemic affected Pakistan and resulted in further closure of schools from last week of Feb 2020 to limit the spread of virus. Though it was essential to lockdown for minimizing the risk but students' learning outcomes were compromised the large extent. In this scenario, MRC's visionary management decided to initiate the online classes to minimize the academic learning loss of the students, as they learnt that COVID - 19 is not getting away any sooner
MRC views the community development from the holistic perspective. So in order to enable community members of a village in Union Council Hazargangi, Thesil Nall Khuzdar district to access safe drinking water, MRC reached out to a district level organization Pyar Foundation for addressing this issue. The organization helped community in repairing water source, installation of water pumping machine and repaired toilets and hygiene practices.
Having improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), community members, especially girls and women not only saved their hours of time which they used to spend for fetching water far flung areas but their health was also improved due to safe water and clean environment.
Scientists for Tomorrow and Science Club
Promoting Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in students, especially among girls in one of the core areas of emphasis for MRC.
To this end, MRC collaborated with an innovative organization Science Fuse and carried out two programs, i.e.; Scientists for Tomorrow and Science Club. There are 35 students who benefited from the inquiry based science learning with the support of Science Fuse.
This was first time for any school in district Khuzdar, Balochistan to be engaged in practicum sessions, said Lala Rukh, CEO Science Fuse.
Students' enthusiasm can be witnessed from the pictures posted on Science Fuse social media pages.
Every day, girls face barriers to education caused by poverty, cultural norms and practices, poor infrastructure, violence and fragility. Girls' education is a strategic development priority for the MRC Balochistan. As a result of gender inequality in education, they are also denied the chance to develop skills that will help them take charge in their homes, careers, communities and countries. We aim to provide quality education to girls with safe, quality, gender-transformative education so they may find their voices and learn to lead.
The program will address the issues of poor and needy women who face multiple barriers. The program will provide community women with tools and resources to reduce social isolation, increase self-esteem, increase their networks and build confidence. MRC through this program will also provide access to one on one counseling/crisis counseling, support groups, mentoring, language enhancement and life-skills training. The end goal is for women to feel empowered and to support their social and economic integration in the Society.
MRC assists disadvantaged groups, such as vulnerable children, people with disabilities, orphans, street children, people at risk of trafficking and trafficking victims, through developing community-based services and enhancing advocacy efforts to promote their rights and increase public awareness.
MRC put special efforts to reach and plan for the care of particularly vulnerable segments of the population children, elders, individuals in health care and correctional facilities, people with disabilities and could contribute the process from disaster to development.
