Children was in its infancy, struggling to enroll first-time students who lived in the slums of Kolkata. At that time it seemed impossible to imagine that someday educational programs would be offered at 12 different sites, much less that those first-time students would ultimately become college graduates.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">ETC college students have become an inspiration, not only to their parents and siblings, but to other students who aspire to follow in their footsteps. Through the generosity of our supporters, ETC&#8217;s college fund supports students by providing them with more options than ever before. We are proud of our graduates who are entering the workforce as professionals, contributing their skills and knowledge to their respective communities.<\/span><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Join us, and help a future college grad today!<\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1034805708\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1034805708\" data-tab-index=\"8\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 8;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-7904461 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7904461\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c8348c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6c8348c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7ac080 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b7ac080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-162 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/empower-children.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/progcurr-187x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144\" src=\"https:\/\/empower-children.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NF2-300x256.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empower-children.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NF2-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/empower-children.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NF2.png 355w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8670a08 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8670a08\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77f0957 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"77f0957\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67897e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67897e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b8e873 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b8e873\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1>Non-Formal Schools<\/h1><p><em><b>&#8220;Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.&#8221;<br \/><\/b><\/em><\/p><div style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: start;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; text-align: center; font-weight: 400;\">-Nelson Mandela<\/span><\/div><h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Praroyna 2 &amp; # Schools<\/span><\/h3><p>Students, ages 5 to 14, who enter Praroyona Schools without any educational background, are taught literacy and basic math skills so that they may reach age-appropriate grade levels.
